The lawsuit is nothing more than a PR stunt and a money grab. Any half-asses lawyer would tell you that you don’t file a personal injury lawsuit until the statute of limitations has nearly expired. That’s because you want to have a full measure of your costs and actual injuries before you file the suit.

Filing a lawsuit now while the story is still in the headlines only serves to maximize the media coverage.

The driver is 69. He may not want to wait until the statute of limitations is nearly up. You can likely present a better case if memories are fresh. If it is a money grab, it is to comoensate him for being assaulted and injured. He’d likely be okay with an out of court settlement, and that might be the best for Sanchez, too.

As a member of the bar for more than 30 years, I disagree. Sometimes you do wait because the damages aren’t clear. Given the age of the victim and the nature of the injuries, I think the damages are clear enough to proceed. And there is nothing wrong with strategic timing to maximize public interest and pressure on the defense. All that said, I can’t imagine what a tenable course and scope argument would be as to Fix. This didn’t happen in CA, but if it did the law here is clear that this departure from job duties won’t support vicarious liability. If I were Fox I wouldn’t offer a dime. Sanchez has plenty deep pockets to make him whole

Did you see the photo of the driver in the hospital?

It’s all on tape. Sanchez is cooked.
