Not so quick! Leona, study up on the
concepts of "contributory negligence"
and "comparative negligence". There is
more to it all than has been stated
thus far in this thread, but this is

Of course, feel free to contact me at
hmparkerson@bigfoot.com or hparkerson@
suddenlink.net. Again, good luck to
you and your mother!
