Stop calling accident participants "victims".

You have two teens from Council Bluffs killed in a car accident. The reports come in and there is mention of drinking and driving. They hit a patch of "black ice" skid out of control into a pole and are killed. The report from KCCI is fair and impartial but there is mention of them being victims. "Victims" is the wrong word to use to describe accident participants after a night of drinking. Really we should be calling them casualties; that word would put squarely in the mind of young people what they don't want to become. If what we are conducting is a war on drunk driving then casualties is what war is all about. Perhaps we should also have a body count meter to make young drivers and drinkers appreciate they too can become a casualty.

FAQs

Can I sue for my account being banned due to using another account that violated the TOU? After playing a game with another account that had violated the TOU, my account that has done nothing wrong was banned from the service, there was no warning, or even notification of a ban. Would I be able to make a case for a suit, or are there no laws on digital services? I have tried to contact the developer, as well as another software company, but they refuse to do anything about it.

Can I sue for personal injury if my brother was severely injured in a group home? My brother, a required 24 hour supervision disabled person, was under a care of a group home over the past weekend. However, they weren't watching him closely and according to the group home manager, my brother broke his leg and injured his neck while opening the door. From the looks and required treatment, doesn't look like this is what happened. My brother had to be put under and undergo surgery on his leg. I want to know what we can do legally.
