Just to recap:
Some on this board have tried to defend:
Alex Figueroa
JaWand Blue
Avantae Williams
Deshawn Troutman
& now Adarius Hayes
The double standard around here is quite fascinating & it shows how out of touch some r.
As someone who’s been in insurance, risk management, & SIU for almost 20 yrs now, I knew from the damage of the accident, the ejection point, the lost of lives how fast he was going. Now, here are several issues that needs to be determined:
-If the other victim that was 78 was the driver, it’s most likely as their cognitive abilities declined, they were unable to gauge how fast the other car was coming, & by the time they realized, it was too late. This is y “mature drivers” rates r higher than seasoned drivers.
-However, the accident could’ve been avoided or at worst, created minimum bodily injury if the speed limit was followed. There’s a reason why they post speed limit in certain zoned areas, & there’s a reason that when these limits r not followed & an accident occurs, there’s a great chance of fatality that ensues.
-The other thing to consider r break marks. An SIU can see the skid marks to approximate at what juncture did the car making the left turn enter the zone, & if the other party tried to stop, but their speed/momentum was too great. It can also show if they, too, misjudged how fast they entered into the zone.
-The point of impact can determine what happened, as well. Where was the t-bone point of contact on the car:
Was it in the middle of the car, meaning they had already entered into the zone, inhibiting the right-away driver’s ability of passage?
Was it on the back quarter panel, showing they had legally entered, but speeding created the accident?”
Was it on the front panel indicating they turned last minute into the right-away driver’s passage?
Two things can be true at the same time; from a pure insurance standpoint, typically a person making a left turn in a non-signaled or non-signed intersection would be the one at-fault in a claim regardless of the speed of the other party; however, that does not mean the other party would be free of criminal charges like reckless driving which could allow the victims’ family to sue for negligence, civil suit.
Regardless it’s a sad situation all around, a situation I’m way too familiar w for the past 6 yrs.
I’ve had my frat brother’s son & his friend literally sliced in two by a youngsta doing 80+ in a residential neighborhood of 25 mph. (The driver survived)
I’ve had my homegirl’s daughter’s bff dismantled while legally entering into an intersection as the other party blew past the red light at 75 mph (Again, the other party survived).
That example I used earlier about a woman blowing throw a car at 100 mph? Yeah, she survived, too & I was two blocks away when the situation happened:
This is not passing judgment b/c **** & life happens vs. showing the lack of humanity some on this board show, the extent of justification they’ll use to defend the actions of a person just b/c they wear our team’s colors.
Go back to the Lacy thread & have a gander. Go back to the UGA threads & have a gander. Not one of ya’ll was trying to be a lawyer on their behalf making up all these illogical rationalizations.
Prayers for the victims, BUT whether he is found to be at fault or not, shame on Adarius for not learning his lessons from all the other incidents. He’s exhibit A for parents that have their children on their policies of y those rates spike exponentially b/c of **** like this.
