I'd ask for my wrist and leg injuries to be taken care of, but I wouldn't ask for any pain and suffering ********.

I have no problem with her suing the boy's estate. I'd do the same.

The woman was minding her own business and was injured because of the reckless actions of the boy.

I totally agree with you ........

My friends husband was recently involved in an fatal accident when a young women was texting while driving and crossed over to oncoming traffic hitting him head on. The young women was at fault and unfortunately was killed as a result of the accident. My friends husband was injured during the accident and will require multiple surgeries. Even though the young women was clearly at fault, my friends family has decided that they will not file any sort of law suit and they will not seek any restitution. They do not want to hurt the young women’s family any more than they already are. I think the law suit listed in the OP is a valid suit just like my friends husband would have a valid suit. I think that a good person would do their best to avoid putting an already torn family through further turmoil. That being said, if someone did not have medical insurance, had lost income or earning potential that they needed to support themselves or family then they might not have a choice but to sue.

A "good" person would not attempt to recover damages because it may put a "torn family" through "further turmoil?" How about if the little gal had not been texting she would have spared your friend and her parents the turmoil? You are doing just what the insurance companies want you to do...you are personalizing the case. The insurance exists to help restore your friend back to where he was before the accident. Using it is not an "attack" on a "torn family," it is simply getting what he is entitled to get.

God forbid, my negligence ever causes an injury to someone else, I would be the first to tell my insurance company tp pay up.
