By David Hedges, Publisher
The Times Record/Roane County Reporter

A collision in downtown Spencer two years ago took the life of a woman's unborn son. according to a wrongful death suit filed in Roane Circuit Court.

Among other things, the suit seeks reimbursement for the loss of income the childwould have earned during his lifetime.

The suit filed by Samuel Hrko of the Segal Law firm in Charleston involves an accident on April 19,2013.

The suit claims Robert Lee Barr of Church Street was pulling out of the Go-Mart parking lot just after 4 p.m. when his vehicle struck a vehicle traveling east on U.S. 33 driven by Hrko's client, Shara C. Shamblin.

It says Barr failed to yield to the other vehicle and that Shamblin sustained physical injuries that led to the death ofher unborn son.

Shamblin was recently appointed by the Roane County Commission to serve as administratrix of the estate of her son, identified in the suit as "infant boy Shamblin."

In addition to reimbursement of lost income from the unborn child, the lawsuit seeks compensation for medical bills, both past and present, emotional distress and pain and suffering and also requests punitive damages.

Barr will have 20 days after he is served to file a response with the court to the allegations.

The case has been assigned to Judge Tom Evans.
