The top post on HN when I last checked was about Mercedes removing all liability from the driver while it's engaged. When I first read that I imagined all the people who would have stories like this. This is the second link I opened, it was number 6. These lawyers must fear consequences for allowing more stories like this to happen.

I am inclined to agree.

They want you to remain silent? That would be reason enough for me to drag them through the media.

You are seriously going to recommend this without knowing this person more than what he wrote? A legal battle can be a torture for many many years and without any guarantee of anything. Huge companies has an army of lawyers that will use any legal loophole they can find.

He should speak to a lawyer, his family and probably a therapist.
