Can Certain Intersections Be Prone to Accidents? | Chattanooga Auto Accident Attorneys
When you’re sitting at home, you want to feel safe. A home should be your sanctuary, but for one Chattanooga woman, it’s seems like only a matter of time before an accident literally finds itself on her doorstep. The woman happily lives off Hickory Valley Road at Elben Drive, but she’s had several unwanted visitors at her home over the past several years, because at her particular intersection, cars often lose control and end up in her front yard. Just last Sunday a driver swerved off the road and plowed into the woman’s front porch. Fortunately the woman wasn’t sitting on the...

Just last week we were discussing the dangers that some workers face while on the job. In our previous post a young man was seeking compensation after his father lost his life in a tragic workplace accident. It was an unfortunate reminder of how quickly families can be torn apart when a company fails to adequately protect their employees. And now less than a week after sharing that story, we’ve heard of another tragedy that has taken the life of a Chattanooga worker. Last Friday morning, a three-decade-long employee of Astec, Inc. was involved in a disturbing and shocking accident at their...

Hopefully, you work in a place where you don’t have to fear for your safety every time you punch in. Some jobs do have an inherent risk involved, but your employers should be doing everything they can to reduce the possibility of you suffering a serious injury or worse, losing your life. But sometimes fatal workplace accidents happen and just last year we shared the tragic story of a man who was killed in local manufacturing plant when he fell through a faulty grate and into a steel press.

We see semi-trucks every time we use the highways and occasionally we must think to ourselves, “Wow, those trucks are big”. They are big, but that means they can be dangerous and major driving hazards as well. Unfortunately, this past week saw a man from Georgia lose his life on a Chattanooga highway. This Tennessee truck accident occurred as the passenger vehicle drove straight into the rear end of the rig. The driver of the passenger vehicle was declared deceased at the hospital. The investigation is continuing so all the facts are not in yet, but we can be sure that police...

This past weekend a young Red Bank, Tennessee woman was apparently driving under the influence of alcohol when she lost control of her van and collided with three parked cars. It all happened in front of a house which was located at a lower elevation than the road. The accident pushed cars, including the van, towards the house with the van only stopping when it hit a tree in the yard. Reports show that there were also three passengers in the van and that both the driver and at least one passenger suffered minor injuries. Authorities feel that the injuries could have been much worse and that...

We work with a lot of families that have experienced tragedies, and we can only hope that through the legal system they’ll be able to find some sense of closure and justice. Some crimes are so disheartening that they are almost unbelievable. When you hear about a drunk driver running down a person and taking their life, being angry is understandable. But when you hear that driver left the scene of the wreck to avoid accepting responsibility, it can be even more frustrating. A trial began in Knoxville last week for a horrific hit-and-run that has shattered two families and shocked several...
