Commentary
It’s a little alarming to hear about accidents in which a driver just isn’t paying attention to the road, and it reminds us that something like this could literally happen to anyone. Luckily, those involved don’t seem to have been injured too badly. However, I would caution anyone involved in an accident like this to rush to any conclusions, as far as that is concerned. Injuries can take several days to fully manifest themselves. So what doesn’t hurt today may hurt tomorrow. As the pizza delivery vehicle is responsible for this accident, they will have to make things right with the victims, although being found at fault by the police doesn’t constitute a legal obligation for them to do that. Often in these incidents, victims are forced to seek out legal counsel and together devise a way to move forward.
