The judge found for the kid's family because he was a minor when my BF and his wife assumed responsibility for him on Friday. Even a BF or his family sues when lifetime costs are incurred. Also, it may not be you suing the individual or the shop. If you hit some one due to brake failure everyone involved will be sued. Such is the liability umbrella that exists. Your insurance company is going to do everything in their power to minimize their loss.
