You'd have to be the lowest of low...

I've never understood the need to sue someone for everything they are worth after a car-accident. Especially when the person you are suing has suffered as much as or worse than you.

But when you are the person who caused the accident and you are suing someone who lost way more than you could every dream of losing, that makes you an even worse individual.

The worst part is, this is going on in Ontario right now. In 2012, just outside a small town called Innisfil, a woman in an SUV struck three teens on bikes from behind, killing one and seriously injuring the other two. It was at night, but statements have shown the boys were wearing reflective gear and the driver has already admitted to speeding 10km/h over the speed limit. 

Let's not forget of course, that this woman is the wife of a police officer, who was following behind her on the road, and that she was not asked to take a breathalyzer.

Within a year after the accident, the brother of the teen who died accidentally overdosed on pills whilst drowning his sorrow over the loss of his brother. Within a year, those poor parents lost both their sons.

And now, the driver of the SUV is suing the DEAD TEENAGER for emotional trauma and trying to clean that family out of everything they have left. Because you know, the death of both their sons wasn't enough, now let's wring them dry and leave them with no money, no home and no lives.

I can't even begin to imagine what could possibly go through someone's head to make them think that they somehow deserve to destroy this family's lives even further. I can't imagine how someone could sit there and talk about how the emotional trauma they received is so much worse than the family who LOST BOTH THEIR SONS, that she needs to sue the dead son for it. 

Because really, if she's suffering that much trauma, money will erase the emotional distress right? I mean, the fact that she'll have ruined their lives will mean nothing because she'll be rolling in money. Money makes everything better right? 

It just makes me sick. Physically and emotionally sick. It makes it hard for me to keep words out of my mouth that I am trying to get out of the habit of using. I hold very little faith in the legal system for these kinds of things, but if this goes through, I'll have lost it all.
