Glad the info was helpful. We bought them live Saturday. Not sure what he charges for boiled.

Funny. I figured I would get one or more of those. I do know the guy (Al) and don't mind passing on information responding to questions asked about his crawfish business. I live off of Highland by I-10, a decent distance from Burbank, and I buy crawfish, I don't sell em!

bigberg2000 Crawfish sign on Burbank. I pass all the time and wondered about him. So you just drive up and order a few pounds?


(I just called him to verify info before posting) Yes, he boils from Friday through Sunday, and he said to feel free to stop by and buy boiled by the pound, or sack(s) of live. He also said he can have crawfish during the week but to call him in advance for that.

One thing I don't need to verify is that he has been boiling for a very long time and knows what he is doing.

I bought a sack from him Saturday, and many sacks last season. He sells them live and boiled. Seems to always have live ones in stock and is always boiling.

Ours had really good size for this time of year, and didn't notice ANY dead ones in our sack.

His name is Al and his number is 333-0375.

NEGLIGENT entrustment? Given the provided facts, how was the uncle negligent in loaning the vehicle to his adult nephew? Negligence isn't assumed in this case, it must be proven.

The fact that he simply loaned the vehicle to his adult nephew isn't negligent entrustment.

Lawyers can make up causes of action against anyone if they choose to. The question is whether their frivolous accusations will survive a MSJ (Motion For Summary Judgment).

Given the simple facts provided by uncle, I believe he is fine. Again, that is simply my opinion. If intoxication, or a pattern of reckless driving on the part of the nephew were included in the facts, my opinion may not be the same.

Dr. 3 - are you an attorney (not being rude, just curious)? If you are, under what theory do you believe uncle is automatically 'on the hook' if he simply owned the vehicle involved in a crash, while being driven by an adult and sober (I assume) adult nephew, aside from the negligent entrustment claim addressed above.

****OP - I wouldn't add additional facts to your original post, in the event someone reading this ends up representing one of the injured people in this accident. I feel certain that any experienced attorney (either plaintiff or insurance defense) will provide you the same information and opinion I provide.****

Unless your nephew was working (and "on the clock") for you at the time of the accident, you will not be sued nor will his mother, since he is 18. Your car insurance company and the nephew are the proper party defendants in this situation (and any UM carriers that may exist for the plaintiffs, but that's not relevant to your concern).

18 years of age is the important number as to whether parents can get sued for acts of their children, not 21.
