Walmart Controversial Official Response to the 6 Car Pile Up that Injured Tracy Morgan

NEW YORK, Oct. 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Walmart has filed its response in the personal injury lawsuit involving the June 7, 2014 accident involving a Walmart tractor-trailer that rear-ended a limousine bus carrying Tracy Morgan and six others. According to the brief, injuries suffered by Morgan and fellow passengers "were caused, in whole or in part, by plaintiffs' failure to properly wear an appropriate available seatbelt restraint device." In addition to Morgan's injuries, James McNair, a friend and comedy writer for Morgan, died at the scene of what became a six-vehicle pileup, and Morgan's manager, Jeffrey Millea, 36, of Shelton, Conn., and comedian Ardie Fuqua Jr., 43, of Jersey City, were taken to Robert Wood Johnson Hospital in New Brunswick in critical condition. The Walmart driver, Kevin Roper, 35, of Jonesboro, Ga., was charged with death by auto and four counts of assault by auto in connection to the crash.

Walmart's response to Morgan's lawsuit illustrates the attempt of deep-pocketed defendants to minimize damages claimed by plaintiffs. By asserting that the plaintiffs disregarded the use of seat belts, Walmart's position is that the plaintiffs did not use available safety precautions and are responsible for the injuries they sustained in the accident. Not all victims of motor vehicle accidents have financial resources like that of celebrity Tracy Morgan. As a result, they may feel that they cannot wait for their case to be heard by a jury and may be forced to accept a lower settlement than they really deserve.  This is where a company such as Pegasus Legal Funding can help those who are victims of auto accident and are being pressured to accept a lower settlement amount than they rightfully deserve. Most plaintiffs in a personal injury lawsuit are up against powerful insurance companies with vast legal resources. They are often faced with considerable medical expenses, lost wages if unable to work, and other expenses as a result of the accident. These financial burdens may influence plaintiffs to settle quickly and for much less than the actual case value. Pegasus can provide much needed funds now while allowing plaintiffs the financial breathing room to seek a fair and equitable settlement.
