Yeah, I can see a possible case against the girlfriend (if he was drunk when she handed over the keys, or she knew he was unlicensed), and maybe the folks handing out the alcohol but everything else is just passing the buck and looking for deep pockets.
Why doesn’t she sue herself? She let him go to the party. She made sure he didn’t get a licence. She didn’t chaperone the kid to the party and monitor his drinking habits.
HEY! I love The Corrs!! They’ve never made me fall asleep…though I’d guess that if that woman’s son was looking at their CD cover or watching a DVD of them performing, while driving, THAT might be cause for an accident. Those girls are VERY cute. Then I suppose his mother could include them in the lawsuit.
Maybe the mom can sue the dinosaurs for becoming extinct and gradually decomposing into the hydrocarbon fuels that were used to accelerate the vehicle to its fatal velocity.
Yes, I know that dinosaurs != petrochemicals. 'S a joke, son.
Though even if you were to do that, it would be problematic because of said exictiontion, so you’d have to go after their decendents. I believe that would be birds, If I’m not mistaken.
Then the question comes up: Can you sue someone for something that happened 65 million years ago, somebody who is not only a different species but also also considered an entirely different class?
At what point can you (not?) sue somebody for something that happened in the past?
