Maybe this tidbit in the last sentence will shed light:
Cameron has launched a routine lawsuit against the driver, mainly for medical and funeral costs on behalf of the boys and their families. He alleges Simon was speeding and may have been intoxicated and talking on her cell phone.
It appears they sued her first.
They have no evidence that she was drunk, or talking on her cell phone.
And what's with the foreign speed references? Oh yes, to make it seem like she was really speeding. 90, and 10 over the limit, sounds much worse than "She was doing 55mph in a 50 mph zone"
Interestingly, there are some places where bicycles are not allowed on any roads faster than 45mph, because of the danger.
And bikes are required to have lights if they are ridden after dusk.
In another article, I found the amount of their suit:
Mr. Majewski, Ms. Mlynczyk, their new partners and their children are also suing Mr. and Mrs. Simon and Simcoe County for a total of $900,000So they were suing HER for $900,000, and she responded with a suit for $1.3 million. Seems comparable. They sued her first. In the article they try to blame her for the mental anguish that caused their other son to commit suicide. And she is suing them for the mental anguish of their boys causing an accident which traumatized her.
This article was certainly written to make us mad at her, and to sympathize with the boys and their parents.
