One of my friends hit a kid that ran out between parked cars with his car, the child was seriously injured. My friend was not found at fault for anything. He has gone through a lot in the last 20 plus years since it happened as a result of what he did to that kid. It drains him to this day.
This website in particular seems to be very considerate of mental health issues. My friend did not receive a penny for his healing yet has paid out who knows what on treatment over the years. Should he have sued?
I don't know what to think about the OP's case, but the fact one side is grieving has no bearing on how the incident impacts the other party. People sue all the time when someone else is at fault for an accident, this is not much different. My friend did not suffer a physical injury, which I am sure most of us would support suing, but instead had pretty serious anguish, a certain 'injury' from the accident.
