Lol, famous case many years ago and it made national news but fortunately sanity ultimately prevailed and the original verdict in favor of the injured burglar was overturned on appeal . Anyway, back to this case : since the plaintiff's attorney is a friend of a good friend of mine and we all do have an occasional drink together, next time we all meet I'll see how much he's willing to reveal about the case ..particularly since a couple of drinks tends to enable more disclosure than usual .. should be very interesting .
Incidentally, he did obtain a substantial settlement out of Porsche for another client who was injured in a 911 Turbo , and that claim was also based on insufficient safety features grounds , but I don't remember the specifics of the faulty design allegations in that trial , it was more than fifteen years ago . Nor do I remember if excessive speed, or modifications to the car were involved and it certainly wasn't two professional drivers who should have known better as was the case here, so totally different scenario at play in this case I think .
