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.
Probably so. If it turns out that the Speedway was at fault then the family should be granted more than $75K. That seems low even for a starting figure.
I don't think she needs to be hurt any more by slander from those of us that don't know the true details or facts.
The press, as we all know, is most often incorrect. This poor family has suffered a huge loss and tradegy. Losing a husband and father of your children is the hardest thing ever and there are no words to describe the pain. She is doing TAR to work through that and help re-build her life and self worth/esteem. Good luck to her and her family! : )
That is probably the amount she is asking in compensatory damages. Punitive damages is where the lawyer will try for his fees. This is a case I would love to hear all the facts to because I am pulling a John Kerry. Flipping from one side to the next. :) I need to go get a shower! :)
