I definitely agree with you, to be fair I think the driver, and the person who was suppose to keep the tires maintained are to blame, you can't blame the kids in this case because they are too young to realize or know the gravity of the situation, there for mostly everyone envolved is to blameSonia_Gonzalez wrote: ↑05 Oct 2023, 08:31 This is a question I love because I have not finished reading the book but EVERYONE could be found guilty depending on the perspective and the arguments you give. There is no right or wrong answer, and this is something that happens in both books and reality, whoever ends up being more convincing and has the most substantial arguments can convinced anyone of their innocence and someone else's guilt.

The following elements appear to have played a part in the accident, according to the information provided:
Faulty Tires: If faulty tires were the cause of the accident, the tire manufacturer or distributor may be held accountable for delivering a defective product.
Seatbelts: Those who were not properly connected could face criminal prosecution if no one was wearing a seatbelt. However, the laws and regulations of the jurisdiction where the occurrence happened apply.
Vehicle Owner: If the vehicle owner was active in maintaining the vehicle and ensuring it was in safe operating condition, they may bear some liability.

I'm in the same boat as you, Amy. It's difficult to point the finger since I think all parties share some of the responsibility for what happened. I'll have to read more details and see if I agree with the final verdict.

I didn’t see any proof that Universal Tires should be held accountable. I think they produced a good tire that lasted a long time. If the van owner had maintained the tire and replaced the tires when necessary, the accident could probably have been prevented.

Angie, this is exactly how I feel. Bess made a lot of poor choices as the driver responsible for everyone's safety, including deciding to speed down that last stretch of road. I don't think the speed limit is mentioned, but it was probably nowhere near the 65 mph she went!Angie Fernandez wrote: ↑21 Oct 2023, 11:48 I do not have a lot of grace for parents or guardians who do not secure their children with seat belts. That said, I don’t know how you could blame anyone else when you clearly neglected your duty as a parent. Furthermore, I felt like Sam Johnson was also at fault for allowing them to drive the van when he had not maintained the tires.
