A Basque businessman who hit and killed a teenage bicyclist in 2004 has sued the boy's family for nearly $30,000 ? to pay for crash damage to his Audi A8 and for a rental car, the Spanish newspaper El Pais reports.

Tomas Delgado claims that the nighttime crash caused more than $20,000 damage and that a rental car cost him nearly $9,000.

"I'm also a victim in all of this, you can't fix the lad's problems, but you can fix mine," Delgado told the paper. He was not charged in the crash that killed 17-year-old Enaitz Iriondo, who was not wearing a helmet or reflective clothing.

Iriondo's family was awarded nearly $50,000 after Delgado's insurance company admitted he had been driving too fast.

A ruling on Delgado's claim is expected Wednesday

funny, i didn't think Tomas Delgado was a jew name

Hmm, I am going to be a cunt and argue with this one.

I am not sure on the logistics of this exact case, but something similar happend in england.

A boy was crossing a motorway near where he lived and a bike hit him. What the boy was doing was very wrong as you should never cross a motorway and is against the law. The motorbike hit and killed him and the driver suffered serious injuries.

He sued and got damages and won the case.
Now what has the driver done at fault? Why should he have to suffer for his damages to his health and his bike when he has done 100% nothing wrong.
Its a tragedy yes, but the biker did nothing wrong(but theres a lot that hasnt been said, did he have lights, was he in the middle of the road etc)

In a case like that I would agree 100%, and I feel this story may have similar lines. Riding a bike at night for example.

you mean spain.

needlive · 01-27-2008, 11:10 AM

After driving fast. Now that's insane.

SilentKnight · 01-27-2008, 11:12 AM

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.

SilentKnight · 01-27-2008, 11:15 AM

$9k for a rental car?!

What'd he do...drive it around the world while his was being repaired?

ServerGenius · 01-27-2008, 11:16 AM

Driving too fast wouldn't have made a difference....in getting the kid killed.
Drive over a bicycle with 80Km kills you as well.....

That said the driver has no legal grounds to claim damages as he commited
a traffic violation at the time of the accident.....Apart from the fact that he's
an idiot for not having an ALL RISK insurance policy on a brand new Audi A8

you mean spain isnt in america?

severe · 01-27-2008, 12:22 PM

in another article i read the courts found both parties guilty and as you can see the driver was not charged with anything. his insurance had to payout 50k for killing the kid from, if i remember correctly, a civil suit.

why shouldn't he try to sue for damages to his car then? seems only logical since both parties are at fault.

Violetta · 01-27-2008, 02:57 PM

THAT is fucked up... only in america for sure
