You have got to be kidding… Do we have to put a bubble around everything in this world? How about the idiot that left the children in the minivan without the emergency break set – or the vehicle in park – – – – OH WAIT ! ! ! Lets sue the minivan manufacturer because the thing rolled down the hill… and the paving contractor who graded the road … and the landscape contractor who mowed the grass so it was low enough that it didn’t stop the van… holy cow – A tragedy yes… but when will they stop the madness ! ! ! !
Who was more negligent, the City for not installing a guard rail or the person who neglected to set the parking brake? The plaintiff in this case should pay all the legal expenses of the defendant if they lose like they do in Britain.
I guess it would be hard for any parent to accept the responsibility for the death of their child so it is easier to sue another party to shift the blame.
There are signs all over Beardsley Park in this area that state NO PARKING.
Because the “adult” in this situation chose not to pay attention because the “adult” in this situation decided that the rules did not apply to her, this un-necessary tragedy occurred.
first of all the liability is the responsiblity of the driver. how can the car go downhill? if he did not set the brake, you can not hold anyone responsible outside the driver of the vehicle. how can they lay claim to 2 of the 3 kids that died? um…um…
also, how does a zoo become responsible for the park w/in the city? was this vehicle parked inside a zoo?
this lawsuit is not going to replace the life of the kids. it will not take away the pain of losing the loved ones. there will be the guilty feeling for the driver who is responsible. so why are we so happy to sue, when it’s not the city’s fault? we are in economic times and we think that these cities have money? i don’t think so!

The city should employ the ‘act of God’ defense since this was clearly the result of gravity.

’nuff said.
Thank God the van didn’t roll into the ocean. Can you imagine the rail that would have to be installed?

If I remember correctly, the driver jumped back into the vehicle to try and stop it and also drowned.
