    Wasn't Keigwins insured?

    I'm not sure how these things work as I haven't been through one fortunately, but if you don't want to settle, but the insurance company does, will they then cease to represent you and cover legal bills?

    Pretty much, no honor. Hiding behind someone that knows loop holes in the law to get him a W.. Fuck that guy. The ONLY reason I could think to sue would be if someone did something super negligent, and even then it wouldn't be against he track or org. running the event.

    Fucking girl scouts, what the hell ever happened to men in general? Just pussified I tell ya.

    I have been through it and that is why you pay for liability insurance, they cover the lawyers and other issues in a lawsuit. Other than some minor expenses for depositions we haven't had to pay for anything out of pocket.

    Depositions. Why does that word sound like it means compulsory deposits? :D

    Forced me to leave a lot of brain cells on the table as idiotic as the lawyer on the other side was...

    Well hard to tell, we have the track day orgs side of the story, but not the rider's side, but that has not stopped conclusions from being jumped to, torches being lit, pitchforks being sharpened, and trebuchets from being constructed, so situation normal. :D

    You're on the side of the track day company. Guy is suing because he ran off (his fault) and fell down after hitting some sand bags controlling erosion that had been there the entire time he was at the event - which he was totally fine with up until he screwed up.

    I wonder if this is a new owner and he wasn't insured? I thought Kegwins was owned by a husband and wife team whose last name was Kegwin.

    The lawsuit actually covers the riders POV clearly. He is suing because of something he ignored until he screwed up. After signing releases saying he knew the risks and accepted them. After doing other laps around the facility and continuing to choose to ride.

    As I recall he first sued Laguna Seca and lost.

    The track wouldn't let them rent it without insurance that covers the track as well as the org.

    This happened a long time ago didn't it? I remember reading the story. Guy was acting like an asshat on track. Was warned by staff. The place he ran off was well and truly into the next county and it was almost unimaginable how he even got there without trying.

    Laguna may have gotten theirs handled first but they usually sue everyone at once, then you fight them separately.

    Evidently, Jay Bowser is not a fan or said track day organization...

    Anyone know the "rest of the story" on this one?

    I didn't realize Go FUnd Me let you post comments...possibly a whole new world for some.

    Thank you for the information. Based on this and what you typed before, doesn't it seem odd he is using GoFundMe, since he must be insured. I'm often willing to try and help here and there, especially on motorcycle issues, but this doesn't seem right?

    yeah not exactly "go fund me" appropriate.
    I was thinking the claimant needs to be a headliner on BLACKBALLMEFROMERRYTHANGFUN.com

    From arcades to trackdays... that guy should be denied the privilege to anything fun! :D
