Petition Seeks To Ban Gruesome Accident-Scene Photos
It’s why Sullivan started change.org petition[1] last week, fighting to make it illegal for anyone to take video or photos within 500 feet of an accident scene involving serious injury or death. Sofar, she has more than five hundred signatures.
'You can never unsee it': Crash photos shared on Facebook horrify loved ones
But after the horror of having a picture of her daughter's remains circulate online, Dawn Valles, of Downers Grove, is backing a movement that seeks to outlaw the recording of such images at crash sites.
Ban Photographs/video of vehicle accidents scene victims from being shared on social media
ALL people should be remembered for the people they were not by how they died. People are paralyzed for life from tragic accidents everyday and graphic photos are shared.
What do you want to do?
Since motorcycle crashes often end in serious injuries, victims need immediate help
Motorcycle accidents are more likely to end in serious injuries or death for the motorcyclist, since the rider is not protected from the force of a collision. When a motorcycle accident happens, the injured rider needs immediate, appropriate medical care, the accident needs to be investigated, and the insurance companies need to be informed.
When a motorcycle crash is caused by negligence, additional steps need to be taken to protect the legal rights of the injured motorcyclist or the family members of someone killed in a motorcycle crash. Go here to learn more about motorcycle accidents and claims.
