Another lawsuit against Brandy

As a follow-up to my first post with Brandy's car accident in which the parents of Awatef Aboudihaj filed a $50 million wrongful death lawsuit against the music artist, another wrongful lawsuit has been filed against her.

This time a different lawyer, Paul N. Philips, has filed a lawsuit on behalf of Awatef Aboudihaj's two sons who were injured in the Dec. 30 accident on the San Diego Freeway. The papers alleges that the sons received unspecified injuries that may result in some permanent disability (nice vague words to use). Damages will be determined at trial.

Would it seem obvious to merge both lawsuits into one? Now you have two different lawyers for the parents and children against Brandy. A two-prong approach to exact the maximum amount of money from the artist? Sounds a bit fishy to me.

Plus, the city attorney's office has not decided whether to charge the singer.

Somehow I am just waiting for another wrongful death lawsuit to be filed by the cousins, aunts, and uncles of Aboudihaj. Maybe another one on behalf of the friends. Then the future children to be born. It's a terrible tragedy, but I am finding it displeasing that the victims are trying to milk as much money as possible from the singer.
