muddler Posted April 25, 2014 Report Posted April 25, 2014 Unbelievable! There are a lot more people like that than you might think. It's ONLY about them! Narcissistic personality disorder? Muddler

BassMan11 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Posted April 25, 2014 I saw this earlier. I can't comprehend what type of person thinks this is the right thing to do? What scumbag lawyer did she talk to that said "I think you have a case".
lew Posted April 25, 2014 Report Posted April 25, 2014 (edited) What scumbag lawyer did she talk to that said "I think you have a case". The kids were riding on a dark country road, at 1:30 AM , while it was raining and only had reflectors on their bikes rather than headlights and flashing lights on the rear. That's probably why he thinks they have a case. Just another way of looking at it. Edited April 25, 2014 by lew
bow slayer Posted April 25, 2014 Report Posted April 25, 2014 and the driver was speeding on the wet raining night also

The cop husband following in another vehichle really has me thinking we really haven't heard the whole story though.
MrSimon Posted April 25, 2014 Report Posted April 25, 2014 As the post above said, the kids were doing something incredibly stupid, irresponsible, and dangerous. This is a good reminder to parents of teenagers to make it their business to know what their kids are doing, where they are, and who they are hanging out with.
bare foot wader Posted April 25, 2014 Report Posted April 25, 2014 The kids were riding on a dark country road, at 1:30 AM , while it was raining and only had reflectors on their bikes rather than headlights and flashing lights on the rear. That's probably why he thinks they have a case. Just another way of looking at it. It sounds like a counter legal tactic, against the families lawsuit for 900k I don't agree with either lawsuit personally, this sounds like a very unfortunate accident that might have been prevented if the kids had proper lights and the driver slowed for conditions
bare foot wader Posted April 25, 2014 Report Posted April 25, 2014 ...we really haven't heard the whole story though. agreed...were the kids in the middle of the road? allegations of the woman texting, consumed alcohol?
fishing n autograph Posted April 25, 2014 Report Posted April 25, 2014 Doesn't surprise me these days
jimmer Posted April 25, 2014 Report Posted April 25, 2014 Still shaking my head. This is where our society is heading?
BillM Posted April 25, 2014 Report Posted April 25, 2014 Disgusting, but you really can't be surprised. Article should have stated her insurance company was suing their insurance company which happens all the time.
Terry Posted April 25, 2014 Report Posted April 25, 2014 mixed feelings sad for the kids families but she may have a case and if she has a case she has the right, so I will not judge more true facts would help
solopaddler Posted April 25, 2014 Report Posted April 25, 2014 Yeah sure she might have a case. So what? I don't need a lawyer to tell me what's morally right.
Spiel Posted April 25, 2014 Report Posted April 25, 2014 I don't need a lawyer to tell me what's morally right. Agreed, but who lets their young teenage kids roam free at that time of night? Where were the now grieving parents? My young 20ish year old girls still have an 11:30 - midnight curfew on weekends and 10:30 on school nights.
bare foot wader Posted April 25, 2014 Report Posted April 25, 2014 is it morally right for the kids family to sue for 900k? no helmets, no lights, on a highway at 1 am... there's some critical facts missing, but it sounds like a very sad accident from what I've read so far
Gerritt Posted April 25, 2014 Report Posted April 25, 2014 Seriously, the woman should be shot That's a bit drastic.... Don't you think?
Gerritt Posted April 25, 2014 Report Posted April 25, 2014 is it morally right for the kids family to sue for 900k? no helmets, no lights, on a highway at 1 am... there's some critical facts missing, but it sounds like a very sad accident from what I've read so far When my son passed away, it was province wide news, newspapers, tv stations hounding us, calling relatives known friends etc... All we wanted to do was grieve... It was bad enough having to deal with various government agencies asking questions trying to find out what happened.... Could we have sued? Sure we could have. Would we have won? We would have. Would that bring our son back? No. No amount of money would have filled the void we felt. It would have only served to destroy other lives. Money does not cure the grief of losing a child, regardless of amount. G
blaque Posted April 25, 2014 Report Posted April 25, 2014 Ive got quite a few thoughts on this that bounce back and forth between many of the previous posts in here. But the fact is, unless i was in the car that night or on one of the bikes..........I dont have the information to cast judgement on an internet fishing forum.
davey buoy Posted April 25, 2014 Report Posted April 25, 2014 I have to agree,a lot of needed information has not come out to judge one way or the other.I always feel sorry for the kids.I'm sure it has a whole lot of effect on the driver as I could imagine.Never want to be in this position myself.
bow slayer Posted April 25, 2014 Report Posted April 25, 2014 what a joke it is about the money,when isn't it. Miss. Simon must think that a couple hundred thousand will make her feel better having to suffer the angish from this, It is a tradgedy all round for everyone involved,something only therapy and time will heal,but to open wounds again and drag this out in court for money is helping no one involved.
