i doubt that would have made a differance.....but hey a lawyer can spin anything.
I think the track promoter would have to be named, because they employ the ambulance company - therefore are somewhat responsible for care provided by the amulance company.

A track owner shouldn't be able to dictate medical decisions. It would save their asses in the end and would prevent them from being named in a lawsuit for this reason (if that's why they're named in this case). If the paramedic determines they need to get someone to the hospital ASAP, well that's just the way it should have to be. Stop racing until the replacement ambulance gets to the track. Yeah it sucks for the people racing but it's better than getting your track shut down.
he always says.... "nothing personal, it's just business".
I feel the pain of the Turner family, but have no sympathy for Scott Davis.
It's just business, legal business.
By the sounds of it the family is questioning how their son was checked out after the crash and deemed ok...then walked back to his pit area and collapsed. I am sure they are aware of the risks involved with MX and are not intending to shut the track down.
Lawyers need to follow the trail of liability. The track is likely named in the suit because they hired the EMT service. Lawyers are like good gamblers, and they are weighting the odds in their favor. The lawyer doesn't care what happens to the people named in the suit he is just looking to collect a settlement from the insurance companies for his clients...
Releases in states that allow contractual assumption of the risk of negligent acts or omissions should include an express provision for release of claims for negligence acts or omissions in rescue efforts or emergency treatment.
Yes, it's that Scott Davis.
Then the county decided to take over the ambulance duties about there years ago. We have no choice but to use them. These guys won't even come out of the ambulance most of the time. My friend's son broke his collar bone and had to walk his son over to the ambulance and beat on the door to get them to come out and look at his son. Their service sucks most of the time. The worst part about their services is that every time they get someone who goes down hard, the whole fire department shows up with red lights and sirens going. Then we get a really biased article in the local paper about how we are such a dangerous sport.
Goverment take-overs really suck...
But I wasn't there and I don't know anyone involved so this is just wild speculation. If it was the case I'm sure the EMTs involved with the ambulance company can document why they decided it was the right thing to do at the time.
What sucks the most is that no amount of litigation or going over the situation with a fine-toothed comb is going to bring this family's kid back.
Godspeed young man.
Its a tough deal. Lot of things could have happend and the movement could have exasperated it. Suing for negligence it comes down to proving that the medics/EMT's knew of the problem and ignored it. Same with the track. It has to be proven that the problem existed and it was neglectful or laziness that prevented anyone from assisting.
And CPR is assisting but its not guaranteeing anything. If you have seen CPR done correctly you will have to agree, its a violent and vicious thing to be doing to a person, but if it means life, what is broken ribs, pneumonia potential Staph infection?
Feel bad for the family for losing the child. Not real pleased with them feeling they have to sue someone to get financial gain from this, that's just me.
Pit Row
Most of the time, these type of lawsuits are filed by the fat, greedy, businessmen of those huge, conglomerate insurance companies. Whenever ANYONE files a claim, they do everything they can to deny payment.
I'm assuming the guy who died had some sort of insurance and that his family is entitled to a hefty (at least in the eyes of the big, fat, greedy businessmen sucking on their big brown penis shaped cigars) payment. The slimeball businessmen are in the business of TAKING money and don't like giving it away for any reason.
If they DO have to pay, they'll do whatever they can to get their money back from anyone and everyone they can. THAT's who files all these frivalous law suits. The fact that we all sign a release doesn't mean anything to a big, fat, slimeball insurance exec sucking on a big brown cigar while playing golf with the other douchebag businessmen and coming up with even more scandalous ways to steal money from people.
Sucks for the family. Here's wishing them well.
He got E reopened after the county closed it; Riverfront he just had a bid the other couldn't or wouldn't match it.
Where are the rest of the tracks and which track owners did he put outta biz?...So sad for the young man....none of us like hearing this.
I'm sure you're not the only one who assumed that it was the family's choice to sue. My comment was directed at everyone as much as it was at you. It's sad, the way things have become.

The others are when he came to Reno and tried to take a couple of our tracks the same way (Stead, Fernley).
And this thread isn't about stealing tracks so take your hate elsewhere.
After 30 years of staging races at the Marysville Motocross Track in the Beckwourth Riverfront Park, Charlie Sexton's last race is slated for Sunday. Sexton's agreement with the city of Marysville expires Feb. 1.
"I'm going to miss it," Sexton said. "We've enjoyed a very loyal following." Scott Davis, who has run the E Street Motocross track on the Shad Pad river bottom in Marysville for more than two years, will take over operations at the riverfront track."It's strictly a business deal," Davis said.
Scott came here to Reno and applied for permits to hold races on BLM land in Stead, where someone else has been holding races for years. There are only a limited amount of races that can be held there (5). All I'm saying is, can't he make his own track or does he always have to take over someone elses.
I'm sorry and I don't want to cause problems, I know you know everything that goes on in NorCal MX and I respect your opinion, mines just different.
