The paparazzi can be relentless and have been known in the past to cause harm to the people they are pursuing all in the interest of capturing a photograph. Earlier today, Tori Spelling was involved in an accident because she was being chased by the paparazzi.
Tori, who is pregnant, was driving her kids to school when a photographer eager to get a shot of her children began a car pursuit which originated at her house. In her attempt to get away from the paparazzi, she crashed into a wall at the school. After her accident, the actress said the photographer still attempted to take photos of her and her children. Tori took to Twitter to tell her tale.
The police weren’t contacted and no one was injured. Filing a police report is important for anyone who wishes to hire an accident attorney after a collision.
When Lady Diana was killed in a Paris car accident, the paparazzi who persistently pursued her was blamed for the tragedy. In Britain laws were passed to protect celebrities from being chased by photographers. American celebrities are continuously hounded by the press and photographers, which in the Tori’s case proved to be dangerous.
Celebrity or not a car accident can be frightening, and result in personal injuries or property damage. An accident lawyer can seek compensation for people who are harmed by another person’s carelessness. Accident attorneys have the expertise necessary to prove negligence in a traffic collision.
