Object to the use of the term “victim” in this context. Assumes facts not in evidence.

The MSM loves the inane phrase “the injuries are not considered life-threatening.” Extremely serious and/or disfiguring injuries are not “life-threatening.” E.g. multiple broken bones (except femurs), eye injuries that do not penetrate the brain, severed digits, etc. On the other hand, seemingly minor injuries can be “life-threatening.” This nondescript term seems to be used to soften the true extent of the victim’s injuries.

From the article: “Yolande Raymond told rescuers that she passed out shortly before the accident.”

There seems to be little doubt that the site of the billboard was a significant contributing factor to her passing out.

You just need to read between the lines.

From the article: “Yolande Raymond told rescuers that she passed out shortly before the accident.” It seems that any distracting nature of the billboard had no contribution to the accident. Nonetheless, the pic of the overturned car in front of that particular billboard is humorous indeed.

Theory of suit: Driver was distracted by billboard and sues advertiser.

I’ve seen these billboards. It’s not clear that it’s a law firm, but I’m not exactly sure what they do. The “Legal Disclaimer” at the bottom of their site (http://www.411pain.com/index.html) says it’s not a law firm or legal referral service. I think they might refer people to chiropractors or something.
