Because he ran into a parked vehicle while tresspassing on private property, he might just have a case. The prescedent has already been set in North America that personal responsibility is always the other guys fault - never your own.

I see the end of fun on the horizon...

I think it was kids on dirt bikes..The little bas*ards were tresspassing on private land and one was hurt and sued and the land owner was found libel ,if I remember correctly..
It was even posted..
The land owner better have tons of libility insurance if he is gonna let people on his land..I think this will end the fun times..
Even to the point of ending such events as CC3 and other vehicle events..What about the death last year in Oshawa..Any follow up on the legalities..??
Greg has retired and although is probably still a registered lawyer is a full time mechanical wizzard..
Are you going to Coe Hill on the 4-5th..??
