Two words: Policy limits.
The real fight will be when the family members fight each other over the settlement. A bad situation is going to get worse once the money comes into play.
how does that get so many ‘thumbs down.’ Does anyone really think this isn’t going to get really messy when a $1,000,000 check is about to be written?
I’d love to live in your dream land.

No. I expect the family members will fight over the money because they are human. That is what humans do. Especially in situations where the family is split already. This is the way the world works.
The only one seeing color here is you.
No one ever said anything about race. I believe you were the first one… Why does everyone automatically jump on the race bandwagon without actually knowing what he or she meant?
Vicarious liability delivered on a silver platter.
In addition to the Homeowners Association, wouldn’t potential liability flow to the individual homeowners/tenants? If so, wouldn’t the Section 2 liability coverage of their individual Homeowners policies also apply? If so, the courtroom may need to add a few seats if there will be 250 potential defendents!
Check the Liability Loss Assesment endorsement on the individual policies….
Hmmm….that’s one way to get the neighborhood to turn on the man they once counted on. What a shame. On so many levels. First victims of the burglars, and now potential victims of even bigger “legal” pick pockets. And all they wanted to do was keep what was rightfully theirs. How sad is that?
The real shame is that a neighborhood counted so heavily on one man to the extent he thought he was above the law. He was clearly told by emergency operators not to follow “the suspect” he was also told by police they did not need him to pursue yet he continued. The question here is why so many fail to realize who the true victim is; certainly not george who has now gone into hiding and expects a free handout from the world to defend his blatant guilt.
Hopefully the silver lining to this aspect of the whole tragedy is that members of HOA’s across the country take a closer look at how their associations deal with security issues. The newsletter seems pretty damning that they contributed to Zimmerman’s over-inflated sense that he was the law in the HOA. Members of HOA’s should all be asking questions now of their leadership and understanding how this all works.
This was just an article speculating that the Association could be sued. It’s not a news release saying that the family would sue.
Oh, they’re gonna sue and, to be honest, they should. Whether Zimmerman is guilty of a crime or not, Neighborhood Watch volunteers should never carry a weapon and should never leave their vehicle to follow a suspicious person.
What i find curious if they are not out to cash in, is why this:
Travyon’s mother, Sybrina Fulton, filed two applications with the United States Patent and Trademark Office to trademark the phrases “I am Trayvon” and “Justice for Trayvon.”
Your son was murdered and you run out to the patent office? Who knows what really happened and I”m not even going to speculate on who was at fault b/c I don’t know. You don’t know. The only one who knows is zimmerman. I just find it odd that they would do such a thing if monetary gain wasn’t the motivation??? Anyone?
Agree but there’s always a chance that their attorney, who will want to be paid, is filling their heads with all types of ideas. Attorney tells them “you deserve this”, “you’ll need money to have the best legal representation”, blah, blah, blah.
I have no doubt that someone is selling “I am Trayvon” shirts or buttons, so she may have done it so that she has some recourse to go after strangers who would try and profit from her sons death.
I see no reason why the family should not sue. Thus far they have not been able to obtain justice through the legal system. George Zimmerman, son of a retired judge, was never questioned yet allowed to live freely while he took the life of a child. The money will not bring Trayvon back but it can help to make a difference and promote awareness of situations just like this and possibly bring about change to the current legislation. While everyone has a right to defend themselves, there must be parameters. How an individual can chase someone and yet be called a victim is beyond me. God bless America.

And iof they ahve practiced even a modicum of risk mgt they should have zero assets so they can tell the plaintiff attorney here are the keys and here are the expenses take the former and pay the later and thanks.

And the association could be sued for their liability for the next tsunami too. And the point is?
