Tracy Morgan is fighting to get better

Tracy MorganTracy Morgan is still ”fighting to get better” following his car crash in New Jersey in June. The former 30 Rock star, who suffered brain injuries, a broken femur, broken nose and broken ribs when a Walmart truck smashed into the limo bus in which he was traveling in with friends in New Jersey, is trying to get back to the person he once was. Speaking outside the federal courthouse in Trenton, New Jersey, his lawyer Benedict Morelli said: ”Mr. Morgan is a fighter. He’s fighting to get better. If there’s a chance to be back to the Tracy Morgan he once was, he is going to try to do that. We just don’t know.” Tracy was extremely upset when Walmart recently accused him of being at least partially responsible for his injuries, as the company believes he wasn’t wearing a seatbelt when the crash took place. He hit back at the retail giant on Twitter, writing: ”My friends and I were doing nothing wrong.” Aside from his physical injuries, Tracy is also grieving the loss of his friend James ‘Jimmy Mack’ McNair, 62, who was killed in the crash.

    Okay, so if he says he and his friend did nothing wrong in response to Walmart saying he wasn’t wearing a seatbelt, then he wasn’t wearing a seatbelt, otherwise he would say so. And that, unfortunately, does put quite a bit of the blame for his injuries on himself. Seatbelts save lives. If he’d been wearing one, there’s a good chance he would have walked away without a scratch. It’s terrible what happened, but he has to accept that he is partially at fault.

    I kind of agree, on the other hand, if the truck were to hit a school bus full of kids then is it there fault for not having seat belts(even though they don’t have them). Injuries or not, it is still the truckers fault, and yes seat belt do save lives.

    There should be seatbelts on every vehicle and people should use them. He must travel in a limo all the time, that’s a lot of times he was at risk.
