The local DA declined to press charges since he didn't have any proof of anything other than an accident. The kid didn't do himself any favors by having weed in his system and getting out of his car on the track. If I was on the jury I would've said that the kid was responsible for his own death. He was supposed to stay in his car and wait for the tow truck.


Perfectly explained. When your attorneys are going to walk the case is a dog and has no merits. Delt with attorneys involving accident claims for 28 yrs. Never once had one tell his client they were walking. And we defended against some real frivolous cases. This one had to be a sinking ship.
