Commentary:
The news mentioned that prescription drugs may be a factor in the accident. If so, it’s only going to highlight the problems facing a country in the midst of a prescription drug epeidemic. Unfortunately in cases like this, there really isn’t much that can be done outside of a regular claim. These accidents are becoming more and more frequent, and there needs to be a change.
