Last month in Gary, Indiana, two teens were killed in a car crash. Now, more then a month later, one of the teens' families is suing the police for $50 million dollars. The family is suing the police for negligence because hours after the September 15th crash, when the police had failed to find the bodies of the two teens, the father of one of the boys, Dominique Green, discovered both bodies himself, in a nearby wooded area. Dominique's family believes that had the police found the bodies earlier the boys may still be alive. The attorney for Dominique's family, Ken Allen, said that Dominique Green "had a chance to live and that chance was taken from him and his parents by the Gary police."
If I were in this situation, I believe I would do the same, although the amount of the law suit seems very high. A law suit seems to be justified in this case. If Dominique Green's father could find the bodies of the boys, then why could the police not find them? Did the police not look carefully? Was there negligence on the part of the police? I feel that the police should be accountable for their carelessness and lack of thoroughness. However, the amount of money involved in this suit seems extreme as there is no guarantee that even if the police had found Dominique Green earlier, that he would be alive today.
