Tennessee car accidents often involve DUI drivers or drivers who have been using drugs. It’s rare that they admit what they did or take responsibility.

That’s why your best choice is to hire a Tennessee attorney familiar with Tennessee automobile accident law and cases against drunk or drugged drivers.

A recent case of ours involved a client who was minding his own business on a weekday morning. He had just dropped off his daughter at school.  A young man crossed over, ran his car into my client and drove him off the road. The client’s car rolled several times.

The young man who hit him?  His story was that he had “fallen asleep”. He had started the night before and taken some Xanax that didn’t work – he met two women at a gas station who he asked for directions to an ER, they assured him he didn’t need to go to the ER, and told him they would take him home with them, give him some cocaine, and everything would be ok in the morning. The took him home. He spent the night with the two women, who gave him cocaine, and then the next morning drove him to his car. Then he fell asleep and hit my client. This was his excuse. No apology.

A recent Nashville car accident was caused by a young man who claimed to have trouble sleeping.

He took sleeping pills and when he still couldn’t sleep, he got into his car. His story is that he was going to a hospital. (really?)

The pill taking Nashville car driver somehow never made it to a hospital. He stopped at a gas station, met two women who he “asked for directions”. He claims they gave him cocaine, took him to their home, and then brought him back the next morning to his car.

He didn’t go far the next morning before running another car off the road. There are car accidents in Nashville every day, but not many where someone is run off the road and their vehicle rolls over from the impact. This Nashville car accident didn’t end up with a death, but it could have.

After a night of sleeping pills, cocaine, and two women – driving must have seemed like an ok idea to this driver – and he’s still out there btw. Information about car accidents in Nashville can be found by checking our website.

No one thinks that they are going to be in a wreck. As a an attorney who specializes in representing victims of drunk drivers, I see lots of cases involving everyday people whose lives are suddenly changed by someone who should never have been on the road.  These impaired drivers are not always limited to alcohol consumption, it’s not uncommon to see alcohol use along with pills and other drugs.  A wreck that happened in June illustrates the insane, irresponsible people who are driving every day on our streets.  On  June 22, 2009 there was a single vehicle accident just after 10p.m. The driver, Samantha Johnson veered off Harding Place and hit a telephone pole. Her passenger was killed.  Ms. Johnson claimed that she had hydroplaned and lost control due to water on the road. Water may have contributed the wreck, but what happened earlier is the scary part.

Both Ms. Johnson and her boyfriend had been at his mother’s house earlier that evening, taking pills and drinking. The mother of the deceased boyfriend, had given Samantha some powerful prescription medication – Oxycontin. Apparently she thought it was ok to give someone who was drinking some of her prescription medication, and then let her and her son take off driving the streets of Nashville. Ms. Johnson claimed that her boyfriend was driving after they left his mother’s house, but he was so drunk that he had driven the wrong way on the interstate, had struck a wall, and he had hit a tree in the 100 Oaks Mall parking lot.

For those of you thinking you wouldn’t possibly run into people like this, they wrecked on a Monday night – near a mall.
