Wrongful Death Lawsuit Filed Against Drunk Driver
A widower, Mark Kinstle, recently filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Mark Lusher alleging that Mr. Kinstle rear-ended his wife, Michelle Kinstle, while drunk. To make matters worse, it is also alleged that in the complaint that Mr. Lusher transferred over a $100,000 to his wife to keep the Kinstle family from putting their hands on the money. Mr. Lusher already faces criminal charges related to the car accident, including vehicular homicide and DUI.
At the time of the accident in rural Ohio, Mark Lusher was driving a Chevy Silverado truck and if he is convicted on all the charges, he faces substantial jail time. Lusher's attorney chimed in by stating that "it is premature for Kinstle to seek Lusher's assets." Do not be surprised if Kinstle's attorney files some papers with the court to prevent Lusher from transferring or disposing of his various assets in order to insulate himself personally from a judgment.
Based upon the complaint, Lusher was triple that of the legal blood alcohol level limit and after the crash, he kept going thereby failing to come to the aid of Michelle Kinstle. Punitive damages are sought in this wrongful death case.
