Car Crash Not Your Fault?

Nashville Car Accident Lawyer Stanley A. Davis Makes Negligent Drivers Pay

The Bible reminds us that suffering produces perseverance, perseverance produces character and character produces hope. These promises can help comfort us in the grander scope of our lives, but when you have been involved in a car accident that has caused lost wages, pain or suffering, you need an experienced Nashville car accident attorney who holds the other party accountable. Your car crash might have been the result of any number of errors committed by the other driver, including:

• Driver fatigue. It is not just truck drivers with long shifts who are guilty of “drowsy driving,” as the annual Sleep in America Poll from the National Sleep Foundation has shown that a majority of Americans admitted to driving while feeling sleepy.
• Distracted driving. A rather infamous University of Utah study found that using a cell phone while driving delays a driver’s reactions as much as having a blood alcohol concentration at the legal limit of .08 percent. Tennessee made text messaging while driving a misdemeanor offense, but texting, dialing or talking on a cell phone are among the many types of activities that can take a driver’s eyes off the road and cause an accident. Other distractions can include eating, drinking, talking to passengers, grooming, reading maps, changing a radio station or using a navigation system.
• Aggressive driving. Nashville created an Aggressive Driving Unit in its police department to reduce the number of incidents that have caused car crashes in the interstate system. Officers are equipped with unmarked vehicles with equipment that allows them to record examples of aggressive driving, such as speeding, tailgating, excessive lane changes and reckless driving.
• Driving under the influence. A DUI charge in Tennessee includes not only alcohol, but also any intoxicant, narcotic drug or other drug that produces central nervous system effects, including prescription drugs.

Most of these behaviors are punishable offenses precisely because they can lead to accidents. If another driver who was disregarding the law caused a car accident that injured you, you will want an experienced Nashville car accident lawyer from the Law Office of Stanley A. Davis to ensure that you receive every last dime of compensation to which you are entitled. Contact Nashville car accident attorney Stanley A. Davis today to begin the process of transforming your suffering into perseverance, character and hope.
