Read the bio on the Weaver family. The mom is widowed, her husband was killed in a horrible accident. Terrible as it was, I don't believe there should be a lawsuit. It would have been impossible for them to stop the race. Once those cars reach those speeds putting the breaks on quickly would only cause accidents and more injuries.
Okay...just to be clear to you guys..it says the following:
"unspecified amount of damages in excess of $75,000.”
It doesn't say $75,000. She could very well be really going for 1/2 million or more. She probably has a lawyer working on contigency. $75 grand wouldn't net her much for the loss of life.
