(Week 18) Tinsley vs. Qatano

Joey Qatano, an employee of the Pacers, is suing Tinsley, a player. The two were at a night club when Tinsley got in an altercation with a few men. The two quickly got in Tinsley's car and drove to their hotel, but were followed. When the others started shooting at the car, Tinsley jumped out. Qatano was riding in the back seat, and the child-safety lock were on, preventing him from getting out. He was shot multiple times.

Qatano has the right to sue Tinsley for wrongful endangerment. Tinsley probably did not realize that Qatano could not get out of the car, but he also probably didn't care, as long as he made it to safety. And if he hadn't started a fight in the first place, then the whole incident never would have happened. It was his car, his fight, and his hotel. Qatano was just a bystander.
