Car Crashes Into Knoxville Deli, But No One Injured
Sixty-Four year-old Rita Webber had just finished having lunch with her husband on Wednesday at Nixon’s Deli in Knoxville when Mrs. Webber got into her car, started it up, and proceeded to drive directly into the Deli at which she just ate. Investigators reportedly believe that she had the car in drive instead of reverse (a fact which would seem easily deduced without an immense amount of investigation) and accidentally drove into the storefront. Thankfully no one was hurt, although the restaurant did suffer a substantial amount of damage and will require major repairs. It is recommended that customers who are unhappy with their dining experience refrain from driving their automobiles through the restaurant and instead contact a manager or fill out a comment card.
Automobile accidents in East Tennessee often damage property in addition to people. Where the accident occurs at a business or restaurant like it did here, it is a minor miracle that no one sustained significant personal injuries. That will be small consolation, however, to a business owner who has suffered a substantial amount of property damage and who faces significant repair costs or possibly increased insurance premiums if she is forced to make the repairs herself. This situation is not just limited to businesses, as news stories frequently surface detailing how an automobile has ran into a home or some other structure and caused significant damage to that property. Luckily for property-owners, Tennessee allows lawsuits to be brought for the recovery of property damage. Tennesseans who have suffered such damage as the result of an auto accident should contact an experienced auto accident attorney who can assist them in recovering for their damages.
