Commentary:
The news paints a pretty clear picture of fault for the victim in the accident, but I always encourage a second look from another angle to see if we cant give this accident a fair shake. If this truck was owned by a small business, there are parts like tires and brake lights that could have gone unimpaired to stretch a dollar. Most people assume that commercial vehicle accidents all involve trucks from major publicly traded companies, when in reality the majority of these vehicles are owned by small business, and are the only vehicle the companies own. If the small business decided to delay repairs to save a buck, they have passed those costs onto the victims, and need to be held accountable for their actions.
