This lawsuit abuse comes from Spain and is wrong on so many levels that we don’t even need to add our customary snide commentary:

A speeding motorist who killed a teenage cyclist in Spain is suing the boy’s parents over damage to his luxury car.

Enaitz Iriondo, 17, died instantly in August 2004 when businessman Tomas Delgado’s Audi A8 crashed into him at 160 kilometres an hour near Haro in northern Spain. The speed limit was 88 km/h.

The teen crossed the path of Delgado’s car from a side road and a regional court found both parties at fault and closed the case.

Delgado, whose insurance company paid Iriondo’s parents $48,500 in compensation for their son’s life, filed a suit in 2006 to recover $29,400 in damages to his car. A ruling is expected next week.

Iriondo’s parents called the lawsuit a stab in the back.

Sad.
