Nothing can guarantee you being accident free, it would seem. Not your race, or colour, or financial situation, or even your job. It is particularly ironic, when your job is to report, and comment on news, and sometimes accidents, that you are involved personally. This report recently appeared in the New York press.
FORMER NBC ANCHOR INVOLVED IN A CRASH ON THE BRUCKNER EXPRESSWAY
Former NBC news anchor Tom Brokaw was involved in a multi-car crash on the Bruckner Expressway in the Bronx, NY. The expressways stretched from the Robert F. Kennedy Bridge to the New England Thruway. Brokaw and his wife were driving in the Bronx when the accident occurred. Police report that a SUV was trying to avoid cables on the expressway and lost control. The SUV crashed into a mail truck, which then hit the car Brokaw and his wife were driving in. The driver of the SUV suffered a fatal injury at the time of the accident. The driver of the mail truck also suffered minor injury and was taken to Westchester Medical Center for treatment. Reports do not indicate if Brokaw or his wife suffered injury during the crash or if the driver was charged with DWI.
If nothing can guarantee or freedom from accidents, or make us immune to the consequences of someone elses behaviour, do we just accept it as a fact of life. Do we just succumb to what fate has in store? Is say that accepting the inevitable, is just a lazy option. Claiming compensation should be a natural response to the effect someone else has had on your life. They should be the guilty ones for doing it. Not you feeling guilty about requesting recompense.
