Parents of Dead MLB Player Sue Those "Responsible" for his Death
http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2881602
Josh Hancock was a middle reliever for the Cardinals. About a month ago, he achieved the quadrifecta of moronic driving:
1)Blood alcohol twice the legal limit (about .16);
2)On a cell phone at time of accident;
3)Speeding at time of accident;
4)Not wearing a seatbelt.
He was killed when he drove at full speed into the back of a towtruck that was moving a disabled car. All signs point to his never seeing the vehicle. His death has resulted in numerous clubs banning alcohol from the clubhouses.
He is now suing the tow truck driver, the driver of the stalled car, the bar that served him drinks for 3.5 hours, and the tow truck company. Clearly there's some comparative liability here, but I'd say that the tow truck driver (for not putting out flares), and the bar need to worry about liability.
