I might agree to pay for medical expenses... I don't agree with paying for "mental anguish"... a monetary value can't be placed on pain and suffering for ones own carelessness.
years ago, I was stopped at a red light during a snow storm, and some idiot behind me clearly felt that red lights in snow were optional and I was invisible... His big ass car hit my little ass car and did all sorts of damage... to me and my car... several weeks later, he decides to sue me (there was no damage to his car) for pain and suffering, mental anguish and my personal favorite "loss of services of his wife" -- poor dude couldn't get it up he was so distraught that he was a bad driver.... (meanwhile I was in physical therapy for about 6 weeks with the injury that I got... but never contemplated suing)
Dude tried to sue the wrong person... half my father's law firm wanted to represent me just becuase it was gonna be fun... case got dismissed pretty quickly.
