Unfortunately...we live in an era where people try to establish themselves as a victim for monetary gain. Lawyers, judges and politicians have nurtured this environment of entitlement.
Okay, so the kid was wrong for riding his bike at night without adequate safety gear. He paid the ultimate price.
Not to side with the dead kid since lordy knows I've seen a LOT of dumbass people doing reckless things on bicycles - but its adding insult to (fatal) injury for this clown to pursue the kid's grieving family for compensation for his vehicle.
