People get sued when they cause fatal traffic accidents. Don’t marginalize.
Next thing I am gonna hear is it was the lady’s fault for not getting out of the way. Crazy ■■■■■
After all it is CALIPORNIA
Seriously believe personal injury suits net a lot of money for the plaintiffs?
Seriously?
Attorneys derive the most benefits from a litigation happy society. And some medical malpractice suits, like the one filed by an acquaintance of mine in a previous post, end up costing the rest of us more for our health care.
Come on Janet, the lawyers make money and the client makes Money. Now you on a defund the lawyer trip? ■■■■ let’s defund everything.
I didn’t say anything about lots of money.
That doesn’t make it murder.
I don’t understand why anyone WOULDN’T sue the ■■■■ out of anything this jumping loser had. Every person in the innocent woman’s life just lost her lifetime of love and support. There’s countless ways her loss will hurt her family and friends for multiple years. It goes way beyond needing to bury her.

Because he’s dead - there’s nothing to take from him
Because Christians forgive
Because making the life of the man’s family harder won’t make anything better for the girl’s father
Because a years long lawsuit is emotionally taxing to all involved
Why sue?
To get money from a dead guy’s family
Of course, never having been in the situation, impossible to gauge my reaction. Rational brain might go take a nap while hot brain takes over.

Nothing will bring back the dead woman and I don’t agree with hurting a family either. There’s a big but here though because I imagine what’s lost if, for example, I was removed from life like she was, what would result? Just off hand, my elderly mother would lose a daughter whose taking care of her, my children and grandchildren would say goodbye to my lifetime of ‘being there’ at birthdays, weddings, Christmases, graduations. My husband would lose my income, my love, my Healthcare. We have plans to retire and help each other one day and that would be gone. There would be a lifetime holes created by it and so no, I don’t relish the idea of hurting another family with court, but if there’s some funds there then why not try to seek some financial help from his estate? Obviously this all flies out the window if he’s destitute. My scenario only works if the jumper has some money. More likely then not, nobody will get anything and her family loses all the way around.

Hey Samm, maybe if I loan someone my hearing aid batteries it might help. 
Depends on the definition of rational. I ain’t following you.
He premeditated his own demise and was very careless about others below him. If a piece of used toilet paper drive 100 miles an hour through a school zone and mowed down young children as he crashes into a tree to commit suicide, would he have murdered anyone?
Thank you young lady. I totally agree with you.
Certainly fair points. I’d hope that the man’s family, if not destitute, would offer some level of financial support, particularly if he had a life insurance policy. Hopefully she had a basic one through work.
My understanding is that the girl leaves behind a grieving father. I read he was set to take she and her friends wine tasting this weekend, and I nearly cried when I read the detail that she’d gotten him a chauffeur hat…
Obviously this is a really unique situation (the only other similar instance I found was 10 years ago in Chile).

That’s suicide, not murder.
Was he trying to mow down children? How do we know it was suicide? How does a used piece of toilet paper reach the pedals?
Let’s assume for the sake of this hypothetical scenario that a very wealthy man or woman wrote a suicide note announcing their intent to die by bus crash. Then when they crashed they unknowingly hit a group of children, killing some. Would any of the affected children’s parents have cause or reason to sue the driver’s estate? I don’t know if murder is the correct wording but I would support every one of their choices to try seeking relief thru the courts.
LOLOLOLOLOL!!!
I love this place.

Yes, they have cause or reason to sue the driver’s estate. I just wouldn’t call it murder.
Yes, it does.
How?
…
The choice he made resulted in a murder.
