What is moral about bringing cases with no merit into a court of law? That is moral to you?
No. That’s not what I’m saying. At All! I’m not talking about what the family did - I’m talking about what the company COULD do. Sure, the family brought a case with no merit (and shame on the lawyer who told them they had a case). But I’m looking at it from the perspective of a family who lost a child and are already devastated and maybe that devastation played into their bad decision to bring a case in search of some kind of closure that will never come.
The company is within it’s legal rights to collect a huge sum from this family. If they did, and if the family is average middle class, it would likely destroy them. I’m saying the company could have compassion on the family. It would be a good thing to do and probably win the company some PR points to boot.
I am NOT saying they family bringing a bad lawsuit was a moral thing.
