I’m not torn at all. The kid died. Parents should be left alone. Knew a couple whose son was driving and wrecked and died. Had a friend with him that lived with minor injuries. The friends family sued those people into oblivion. Very sad for them. They lost a child and had to pay.

So I don’t advocate suing. But I’m sure someone will.

That’s what all passengers do when involved in car accidents. It’s not like those folks were the exception.

It’s not personal either. Just getting that insurance money.

Thats how Id see it as a parent and wonder what I could have done to educate my child so he wouldn't have done it.

Kids are kids and they are still humans. Wrong risk management decision and lack of experience in this world/driving.

I'm assuming the other passengers in the car are also minors. Said in the article some of them with serious injuries. Which means lots of medical bills those parents will be dealing with in the future.

So you think they should just say "nah I'm not gonna sue the insurance company so that I'm not bankrupted by the medical bills for my child's injuries that were caused by another person."?

Question for those in auto insurance business...because the driver was only 15 and driving past the legal time....will his parent's insurance still even cover the other injuries?
