Tracy Morgan in a wheel chair while undergoing rehabilitation to
walk properly again after accident
Comedian/actor, Tracy Morgan, has responded to
outrageous claims by attorneys representing retail giant, Walmart,
laying blame on him for the serious, life threatening injuries he
sustained in a fatal crash caused by one of their overworked,
speeding drivers. The Walmart driver slammed into the star's limo
bus, after he was on the road for 24-hours without sleep.
Morgan stated in response to Walmart's lawyer's
claims, "I can't believe Walmart is blaming me for an accident that
they caused. My friends and I were doing nothing wrong. I want to
thank my fans for sticking with me during this difficult time. I
love you all. I'm fighting hard every day to get back."
Walmart's attorneys are really pushing it in trying to state a
seatbelt could have spared Morgan injury in the above posted limo
bus their 18-wheeler smashed up
Walmart's attorneys have made this case that much
worse in the court of public opinion, by blaming Morgan for not
wearing a seatbelt. However, anyone who has seen the wrecked and
crumpled limo bus, that was slammed into by the massive 18-wheeler
truck, should have the common sense to deduce a seatbelt would not
have prevented injury to the occupants of the practically crushed
vehicle. The limo bus was so smashed and knocked over onto its side,
all occupants sustained some form of damage and one of Morgan's
friends died.
Word of advice to Walmart, get new lawyers. No
reasonable set of jurors will feel sorry for anyone but Morgan and
his fellow passengers once they see what your driver did to his limo
bus. Not to mention, the anger they will feel when reading your
lawyers blamed Morgan for the whole thing, rather than accepting
responsibility for a criminally negligent, exhausted driver, who was
arrested by police for reckless driving.
