I guess I was in the mindset of the UK where healthcare is widely accessible. So monetary returns seemed excessive, but I should've considered it from the law in the country applicable.J Tyran said:There could be money involved, especially in countries without nationalised healthcare. The driver might have the costs associated with any counselling and psychiatric treatment as well as time off work possibly, so they would be out of pocket in having to pay for a psychologist and any anti-depressants and if they missed time off work to have recover or attend treatment all that adds up.Ubiquitous Duck said:I understand that it would be traumatic to accidentally kill someone.
But I don't see why there is always money being attached to these experiences. It's always money..
I will come down on the side of a driver receiving compensation to recover losses for any accident they didn't cause, not in this case as I don't have time to fact check but in principle.
Is it considered the parents responsibility because the teenager was only 17 or is this a matter of the case going to the nearest family connected?
