Claim For Blame Again?

Accidents are the result of occurrences, that we dont want to happen. The occurrence itself is a natural course of events, however, because someone gets injured, or propert damaged, or some other consequence that is not desireable, we label it accident. Sometimes the incident is a sequence of events, where one "accident", is the catalyst for another. The following report is from New York on January 10th 2010

3 CAR COLLISION INVOVLING A WOMAN AND HER 3 GIRLS.
A female resident of Brooklyn, New York, finds herself being treated at the Brookdale University Hospital, and Medical Centre. She sustained serious injuries after being involved in a 3 car collision in east FlatBush. Her 6 year old daughter had sustained severe injuries, and is in a critical condition after the accident along with her 2 year old sister, who was also in the vehicle. Their car was impacted from the rear by an SUV on Flatland Avenue, with enough force to propel the vehicle forward into the intersection, where it was struck for a second time by another car. Reports suggest that Alcohol may have contributed to the cause, although at this time no DWI charges have been brought.
After her mother’s car was rear ended in a 3-car collision in East Flatbush 6 year old Brooklyn resident finds herself in critical condition at Brookdale University Hospital and Medical center. The 6 year old was in the car with her mother and 2 year old sister who were also injured. The women along with the 2 girls were driving east on Avenue I and stopped after they were rear ended by the SUV on Flatlands Avenue. The car struck another after they were pushed into the intersection because of the impact.
Although this looks like a case of DWI, no charges have been filed up to this point.

No, some may argue that there is always blame to be apportioned. That the guilty finger can always be pointed at someone, for either negligence, incompetence, or other factors. Lessons should always be learnt, and actions should always be accounted for. This gives individuals responsibility, and sometimes that burden has to be questioned.
