Suing Emilio

Can someone explain to me how 2 of his band members can sue him IF they got on the bus knowing he drank too much, and had 2 previous DUI's? I don't understand it. Instead of suing him, they should have stopped him from driving. They are as much responsible as Emilio is.

I dont think they will get anything.

I'm not surprised...these days it's all about what you can get...even if if means getting it from someone you used to call "friend". Sad...

i'm not one bit surprised either!

didn't you know that life today is not about being responsible for the choices (especially bad ones) that YOU make, and that it's all about someone else being responsible for YOUR actions?

i'm so tired of our justice & legal system.

I guess thats what happens when "friends" see dollar signs. Emilio's insurance will probably pay for it. Lets hope they don't celebrate with another drink for the road.

I feel that they are just being greedy. Emilio has been through enough for heavens sake he almost died and he still is trying to heal and all they are worried about is getting money. How can you turn that quick on someone when they would be nothing without him. I think he has paid enough for his mistake and everyone is entitled to a second chance. He has enough to worry about with his medical bills now they are going to try and add this burden on him too. Someone needs to slap some sense into them.

It's not really about greed I dont think. In order for them to pay their medical expenses they have to file a claim with his insurance company. If Emilio's insurance doesn't want to pay then they have to sue. Ya have to remember there are lost wages, pain and rehab, medications etc..just like in any accident.

They can sue, but I think a jury will find too much contributory negligence on their parts, which will equal little or no money. Unfortunately, when these suits happen, a "win" for the insurance company isn't always a zero verdict - it's more of a comparison of how much they didn't have to pay out, taken into consideration with how much it will cost to defend the suit.

I read on the Barnacle blog that the band members aren't suing Emilio himself, but the company he owns. Most people are saying (and I agree with them) that they see the money train pulling into the final station and they are making one last grab before it's parked in the depot permanently.
Says a lot for the mentality of those people, doesn't it?

Personally, I think they MAY be reasonable to expect their medical expenses to be paid, but that's it. If anything, they are an accessory for allowing Emilio to drive..but then, they were probably trashed as badly as he was. For all we know, Emilio could have been the most sober person on the bus!!

I'm wondering why this drunk skunk hasn't been charged with anything yet. I mean, come on..he was at LEAST 2X the limit, and he could have KILLED you, me, or anyone else who happened to be on that road that morning!!

It's my understanding that everyone on the bus was loaded...........but I'm sure they have to sue th einsurance company to pay their expenses too. None the less I believe Emilio WILL have charges brought against him ESPECIALLY since this will be his 3rd DWI!!
