While I don’t want to be harsh to a father that lost his daughter, I have to agree with you BlitzKeg. I do believe this was an accident, but like all accidents, someone takes the blame. In this case, it’s the father’s fault. And I’m not trying to be an ass about it, because God knows this guy (and his family) has got to be going through the punishment of a lifetime for his mistake. And knowing my luck, if I were to be a jerk about it I’d probably hear a thump followed by screams the next time I back out of my driveway.
But if that were to happen, it’d be MY fault. And this guy and his family need to just fully realize that they were at fault and accept it. These types of lawsuits are just a little too insane, in my opinion. Perhaps the people that file these suits need to be forced to pay the court costs and the defendant’s attorney fees if they do not win, maybe that would deter some of the more frivolous lawsuits we’ve been seeing lately.
