What would you do?

FYI, decision has been made on the first question. Luckily, my dad had uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage with a $100,000/$300,000 limit. $100,000 for damages, $300,000 for medical bills. So, between his and their insurance, it should cover most bills. Then, if anything else needs to be paid for, the kid will have to pay, but just for actual costs. Perhaps a bit of pain and suffering, but nothing unreasonable. In fact, if I know my father (for years a private practice defense attorney, and now a healthcare corporate attorney), he'll go after far less than "reasonable".

For the second question, I like the idea of one penalty for detracted driving, with a list of things that qualify. I like that a lot. Include things like talking on the phone, intoxicated, eating, putting on makeup, reading, fiddling with car computer, changing clothes, etc.

Changing clothes while driving?

That's an impressive feat.

I would ruin the little punk. If anybody did that to me I'd hire somebody to take him out.

Actually, his firm is self insured, so the partners will decide if they will go after any money over/above. According to my dad, they don't think so at this point. But, there's a lot of time between now and then.
