Okay! Someone wake me up from this nightmare!! It is true that Emilio Navaira was drunk the night in April 2008 when he crashed the bus near Houston, TX. Yes, he was dead wrong for driving in that condition. However, other passengers were drunk or “under the influence.” None of them had the proper licensing to drive a commercial vehicle. So, my question to all of them would be, “Why didn’t you hire a person with a commercial license to drive the bus?” Where were your brains? Oh, I forgot – your brains are nowhere near your head! The choices you made to drink and act stupid while on tour is your responsibility, and yet one of you wants to hold Emilio & his family responsible for not just paying your medical bills, but your so-called “mental anguish?” Define “mental anguish, please?” Excuse me, Ricardo Vega, but you deserve your physical pain and “mental anguish” – thank-you-very-much!! YOU made the choice to drink and act stupid!!
Don’t you realize that with every single lawsuit (frivolous, I will add) related to a situation like this forces changes in the auto insurance industry for the rest of us – especially those of us who don’t drink and drive like Emilio did?? In regards to the $1 million dollars you’re demanding, the rest of us will be paying for what Emilio cannot just in insurance premiums!!
Mr. Vega, I think it's time that you take a long, hard look at yourself in the mirror and think about what you're doing. Emilio has problems of his own - medically and legally. Don't you think he's suffered enough? Asking for possible assistance in paying for your medical bills is one thing, but mental anguish is a totally different ball game! However, you may not get anything from this lawsuit, because insurance companies usually do not pay out when DWI's are involved. So, common sense tells me that your "mental anguish" claim is bogus. I think you want someone to pay for YOUR bad choices. I also think you need to take some courses in Common Sense and Personal Responsibility.
Today’s definition of a “douche bag:” People who are so arrogant that they cannot and/or refuse to take responsibility for their own actions, and they use others as scapegoats.
