The article on this page was to announce a fund for these two children. For anyone who has the money to donate to this fund in these economic times, that is wonderful. However, this woman's children need more financial support and will for several years than will ever be accumlated through this fund. If Ms. Belair worked at a job where she paid in Social Security tax, and if she worked it a number of years, then the children may qualify for survivor's benefits. If not, then if her mother or whomever else has assumed guardianship is not well off, and I am assuming they are not or they would not be asking for donations, then the only other option is Welfare. The logical, sensible thing to do, is to file a claim against the truck driver's liability insurance. It is no reflection on him personally. It is not revenge. It is the reason why we, as a mobile society, buy insurance. This is not a frivolous claim. This is not a situation where a city bus gets rear ended and everyone on the corner jumps on the bus so they can sue. Ms. Belair's car was disabled on the side of the road. For those of us who travel on I40, and for those of us who have at one time or the other also been put in danger by a driver on I40, then yes it is hard to excuse why this tragedy occurred. Maybe he simply thought he could get safely by her and he couldn't. Only he knows the truth. Insurance companies are only concerned with who is at fault here. Every truck driver would defend this guy, while everyone who has almost been hit while changing a tire would defend her. If he was on the highway, driving a vehicle with a load that was hanging off the side of the truck, and he hit her, he was probably cited for failure to yield or failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident. If he wasn't cited, and the investigating officer attributed the fault to him, then his insurance company is liable. No one on this site that says do not sue would let this pass unaddressed if it happened to them or their family. You can speak of praying, and I'm sure a lot of that has occurred. But it will not feed or clothe these children until they are adults. We pay insurance premiums to cover us when we are at fault in an accident. It would be ridiculous to expect these children to go without the necessities of life in lieu of filing a claim against this insurance company.
