Tennessee Drunk Driver Decides To Take A Nap In The Middle Of The Road
As an experienced Tennessee automobile accident attorney I thought I had seen it all. Alcohol abuse has become a main contributor to Tennessee automobile fatalities but the usual scenario is that the drunk driver is behind the wheel and hits something or someone. In a recent article on a local media web site alcohol took the life of a man who had stopped his car, got out vomited and then laid down in the highway and passed out. You guessed it, another vehicle came along and ran over him.
As an experienced Nashville car accident lawyer I want to remind you that driving with a BAC of .08 or higher is illegal in every state. If you follow my blog you will see that in Tennessee we continue to see a tragic number of people with debilitating injuries and deaths as a result of impaired driving. This careless disregard for human life must stop.
Drunk driving is one of America’s deadliest crimes. In Tennessee in 2008, 327 people were killed in crashes where the driver or motorcyclist had a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 or higher. That is down from 377 people killed in 2007 with a BAC of .08 or higher. Over the 2008 Labor Day holiday, 12 people were killed in 10 fatal crashes on Tennessee roadways, down from 17 people killed on Tennessee roadways in 2007.
If you or someone you love has been hurt in a serious Tennessee car accident due to somebody else’s negligence, then you may be feeling angry, frightened, or even alone in your suffering.
