does my friend have a good case?

Question

here is the scenario. on september of 2005 my friend was driving both me and another friend. both of us were intoxicated. My friend driving had is car on and in drive when my other friend laid on top of my friends car hood. my friend driving was talking to a girl and began to roll his car and then turned his gead forward and saaw my firend on his hood. my friend driving slammed on his breaks. My friend on the hood just scraped himself. He had a bit of road rash. He went through an entire football season, wrestling season, bought two gym meberships and continued working and doing everyday stuff. He is now trying to complain of a knee injury and blames it on that night. does he have a case? It is almost 2007 now

Answer 1

Anything is possible, it depends on if he has a good lawyer. That really does make a difference. I worked as a paralegal for 6 years and that matters a lot. A good lawyer can make a case out of nothing, they do it all the time. So, with the fact that there was alcohol involved, yes maybe although, it is doubtful but, the best advice I can give is make sure your friend gets a really good lawyer if the other one actually tries to make a case out of this...

Answer 2

Seriously doubtful for a few reasons.
His time to address the issue has probably run out, that is if it had been of any real concern then the right time to have it taken care of medically would have been that evening. At least then there would maybe be some evidence to substantiate his claim.
The year of heavy activity following would suggest no serious injury occurred that evening.
And you state that your friend on the hood of the car was intoxicated, whether that is a red herring or not I do not know, but it certainly could be considered contributory to his own personal negligence.
