Deeper than $50,000. Once the grieving family’s civil suits begin, and all the “he was just getting his life together” sob-stories are told, our student will be lucky to escape without being in debt for life.

I hope not. Again, it depends on how local law is structured. He’ll be tried for manslaughter; in some places, if found not guilty that acts as a huge counterweight against further suits.

But you’re probably right that $50k is likely a minimum.
