Now that the parents received $49K for their son’s life from his insurance company, they could certainly afford his $29K car repair, where their son’s body dented it, and car rental costs.
Does Spain have a loser-pays rule?
It’s simple: if you cause the crash, you pay for the damages. I’m sure no one has the full story, but the fact that the teen died means little.
C’mon Greg, you have to admit that despite the law, that’s a prime example of heartless douchebaggery.
The article states that both parties shared fault. If you are partially to blame, it takes a lot of nerve and a total lack of decency to sue the parents of the deceased.
