[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Could the parents be held liable for bringing their unmedicated son into Costco?[/quote]
He was an adult, so unless he was declared incompetent and his parents given legal custody of him, no, they can’t be held legally responsible.  And even if they could, for what?  The cop’s ER bill to check his bruise?[/quote]

This has been a terrible nightmare for those parents, no question.  But they used their membership to get their son into Costco and they more than likely did have some sort of guardianship over him if he was mentally incapacitated.  I am NOT saying that they should be held liable for bringing him into the store, my question is COULD they be held responsible for bringing him into that store?[/quote]

Have you never been to Costco? You actually don’t need a membership to enter, just to shop. You can also buy a 1 day pass or a Costco gift card.

Costco is also full of children running around, knocking things over, bumping into people. Can I sue the parents when their child injures me because he or she was allowed into the store on the parents’ membership.

Did you pay out of pocket or did your health insurance cover the urgent care visits?   Whenever I (or my children) have had an injury that required a visit to UC or the ER we get a letter from our insurance, asking if the injury took place on someone's property or was caused by someone else.   i can only assume it's so they can get (sue) that other party to pay for the medical costs.

And yes, if you don't have insurance and did pay out of pocket for those visits I think you SHOULD so those parents.   [/quote]
