The guy's a knob, and it's clear where any motorcyclist whose ever been to a trackday would likely feel about the merits of the suit. Even the video (shown in that link) makes it even more clear where fault lies - the rider completely screws up, unforced error, and pays the price.
But what I don't see in this article or other threads going on here on local boards, is the question of who is driving the lawsuit. It's one possibility that it's Kim driving it, which plays into the narrative that he's the ass. It's also possible his insurance company is really calling the shots. Couple hundred thousand in medical costs, with a reasonable chance of recovery, I wonder if they made it a requirement for Kim to sign off on. If they (insurance company), are requiring his participation in lawsuit for continuation of coverage, he might not have a choice in the matter.
