Ding, ding we have a winner!

Right, they should reimburse the family for everything-

BUT, my complaint is with the lawyers taking a good chunk of the monetary recompensation..I didn't see any lawyers helping the family get cooperation from the government while the guy was lost.

They showed up after the fact.


I saw this story on the canales Mexicanos (mexican channels) a few months ago and NO ONE would help this family.

I too was properly outraged....I have no problem with giving that family a few zillion dollars. It's just the friggin lawyers showing up and smelling a huge payday that bug me.


Yes, I know.....even sharks have to eat!

( I watched shark week on the discovery channel last week, complain to them!)
