    Terrible accident. Let’s get ready for the trial lawyers shaking the money tree. Money will make everyone feel better, the more money, the better they will feel.

    Hey, Nobody…

    Yours is a cold-hearted statement that is all too true.

    Don’t misunderstand, I’m not disagreeing with what you said or even how you said it; I’ve never understood how money cures the pain of loss.

    If the suit is truly intended to punish the wrongdoer, then all proceeds should be give to a charity or used to set up some philanthropic enterprise to help other; and the lawyer should only receive a reasonable hourly fee (regardless of the amount of the settlement).

    If this isn’t the case, greed is the basis.

    I certainly am not trying to minimize the pain caused by the accident. Unfortunately, the first thing trial lawyers think of when hearing about any accident is, how much can we get. Then the have the audacity to consider themselves as some type of heros when they are just money grubbing leaches.(No attorneys in my family, thank you)

    Geez, the bodies are not even hardly stiff yet and the vultures are circling. Why should a brother get any money? I doubt the dead brother was supporting the surviving brother. Where is his loss, besides companionship. Well, I have two brothers and neither is worth 15 mil in companionship. This should be thrown out faster than dirty dishwater.

    I agree with Compman. Why is the brother the first one to file a claim??

    Funny – I always thought the larger the settlement amount the faster the closure. I guess it is similar to NI thought.

    Let’s be fair,this poor guy wasn’t married so besides his brother who else could sue? ? ?

    Traggic, most certinly worth that sort of settlement, let’s see them prove loss of earnings & how those loss of earnings impacted the brother.

    Perhaps it is his idea of a sick joke.

    Wasn’t Rapetti Rigging Service the company responsible for putting up the crane? Would there be any bearing on the suit if Canzona had some involvement in the failed crane installation?
