Rick - I am the guy who's 18 year old daughter was killed while she crossed a street in a crosswalk. The guy who did it admitted that he was speeding, but he was only charged $100 for failure to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk (this was less than a third of what he paid for his last speeding ticket). Also, he carried $10,000 insurance on a $30,000 truck. Also. he filed for bankrupcy, so he is off scott-free for manslaughter....
Sorry, don't get me started.... I will reply with condolences and perhaps some minor insights into things you will have to deal with in the coming days. I just had to vent.
BTW - The accident happened June 5, 2000, and the crosswalk lights still aren't fixed. Gotta love America!
