That sounds like some kind of bad joke about peoples propensity for wanting to sue over everything, but its not. The woman, 42-year-old Sharlene Simon, a mother of three, accidentally killed 17-year-old Brandon Majewski, as he was out bicycle riding with two of his friends. Now she is suing him. Even though hes dead.

Simon reportedly admitted she was driving 10 miles an hour over the speed limit, but claimed she never saw the reflectors on the back of the boys bikes. She hit all three of them -- only Brandon died. Simon is now suing Majewski, the other boys, and their parents -- and even Majewskis brother, who in a terrible twist also died. She is blaming them all for her emotional trauma, including depression, anxiety, irritability, and post-traumatic stress. No doubt hitting three young boys and killing one of them would cause a lot of emotional turmoil. But this woman is actually trying to profit from it. She is suing Brandons estate and his parents, as well as the other boys families, for $1.35 million. The Majewskis lawyer says hes never heard of anyone suing the person theyd killed before. What you have here is a human tragedy -- boys who were out late at night and maybe shouldnt have been (though theres no law against that). A woman who perhaps wasnt paying full attention. And then an accident. A terrible accident. Its life. The boys families are suffering enough. Not only did the Majewkis lose their son Brandon, but they also lost another son. Older brother Devon was found dead of a drug overdose. His family says it wasnt suicide -- he was merely trying to dull his pain from his brothers death. So far, enough pain and tragedy for everyone. What does suing do except create more? This woman, if she ever got her hands on even a fraction of that money, would somehow feel better about what happened? Also, how on Earth are Brandons parents and even his brother, who is no longer alive, somehow responsible? Majewskis father admits that the boys were wearing dark clothing on a rainy night and had no helmets -- but says that the accident was Simons fault, that she must have been speeding, drunk, or texting, claims which have not been proven. He is now countersuing Simon. What this group of people needs is healing, not more stone throwing. Not more blaming. People do not heal when they are in the middle of a lawsuit. Everyone is hurting, and pointing the finger will not help bring Brandon or Devon back.
