Not saying that this is a brilliant legal strategy, but what’s not too prominent in the article is this is not a stand-alone suit, but a counter-claim in the negligence suit brought against the woman who hit the kids on their bikes. In the hope, I gather, of increased leverage so as to lessen the amount that the woman would pay in a possible settlement.

Dark, raining, 1:30 am riding side-by-side on the road.

I thought I would get in before the “They were riding bicycles so they deserved what they got” posts showed up, but I see I am already too late.

In 1997, a drunk woman’s little dog got tangled up under her brake pedal and she ran over and killed one of my best biker friends.

She successfully sued his family for her ‘mental anguish’.

“Even more confusing Cameron said, is the fact that the woman’s husband, Jules Simon, a York Regional Police officer, is also suing for $100,000 for damages and expenses incurred because of his wife’s suffering.”

This I do believe is lawyer code for “Not getting any sex.”.

cops let the cop and his wife go...
then the cops say “riding side by side”... cops are not witnesses.. there were no witnesses other than those involved. so the cops take the cop’S wife’s story.. BAD ODOR WAFTING FROM THIS STORY....
the husband and wife left the scene..cops covering for a cop’s wife. she hit 3, and killed one of them.. now that’s a FACT.

1:30 in the morning? No lights on the bikes? Sorry, the kids should be inbed at 1:30.

One thing continues to trouble her, she said, is why she and other witnesses were forced to remain at the scene for hours, until 5:30 a.m., as police conducted their investigation, while the driver of the vehicle and her husband were allowed to go home.

Because her husband was a cop; next question!
