Yes, I really said it. Simon is claiming $1.35 million in damages due to her psychological suffering.ALCONA - Still in the throes of agonyfrom losing their son in a vehicle crash, the parents of young BrandonMajewski are now reeling after they learned the woman who struck andkilled him is suing their dead child.“I feel like someone kicked me in the stomach — I’m over the edge,”the dead boy’s father, Derek Majewski, said. “Sometimes, it makes myblood boil.”As he sits in his immaculate Alcona home, near the shores of LakeSimcoe and roughly 90 km north of Toronto, sifting through piles ofphotographs of his son, the heartache shows on his face and he canhardly contain his tears as he speaks.Just down the road, on the side of a quiet country stretch ofInnisfil Beach Rd., is a memorial complete with a bicycle, flowers andphotographs of his son, Brandon.The spunky, handsome, 17-year-old bike enthusiast was out with histwo buddies on Oct. 28, 2012 when they hopped on their bicycles to gofor hot dogs on a drizzly, dark night around 1:30 a.m.“I know they should not have been out there that late,” his father said. “But they are good kids.”Brandon was struck from behind by an SUV and killed while his friendRichard McLean, 16, was seriously injured with a broken pelvis and otherbones. His other pal Jake Roberts, 16, was knocked off his bike butsustained only scratches.Now the driver of the SUV, Sharlene Simon, 42, a mother of three,formerly from Innisfil, is suing the dead boy for the emotional traumashe says she has suffered. She’s also suing the two other boys, as wellas the dead boy’s parents, and even his brother, who has since died.She’s also suing the County of Simcoe for failing to maintain the road.Even the family’s lawyer is in shock.“In all of my years as a lawyer, I have never seen anyone ever sue achild that they killed,” Barrie lawyer Brian Cameron said. “It’s beyondthe pale. I just couldn’t bring myself to tell them on the phone.”After a face-to-face meeting Tuesday, the parents and step-parents left his office almost staggering in disbelief.“I’m devastated, I’m in shock,” said Brandon’s mother, VenettaMlynczyk, a dental assistant who is drowning in sorrow. “She killed mychild and now she wants to profit from it? She says she’s in pain? Tellher to look inside my head and she will see pain, she will see panic,she will see nightmares.”Her voice shaking with emotion, the mother recalls her last words with her son.“I said I love you … he said, ‘I love you, too, mom,’ and off he wentwith his friends,” Mylnczyk said. “At least I have that … but for thiswoman to be so selfish, to claim she is the one suffering but we are theones living the nightmare … her children are still living.”“It blows my mind,” Brandon’s step-mom, Lisa Tessier, said. “We are all devastated. This is so cruel.”In a statement of claim filed with the court, Simon is claiming $1.35million in damages due to her psychological suffering, includingdepression, anxiety, irritability and post-traumatic stress. She blamesthe boys for negligence.“They did not apply their brakes properly,” the claim states. “They were incompetent bicyclists.”Simon’s lawyer did not respond to a request for comment from the Toronto Sun Friday.Brandon’s father shakes his head.“They’re kids!” he gasps. “And they have a right to make mistakes ... it was a wet, dark road — what about slowing down?”He insists the reflectors on the bikes would have been visible.A South Simcoe Police report shows Simon admitted that she wasdriving at 90 km/h in an 80 km/h zone on the two-lane road. She claimsshe didn’t see the boys or any of the orange-red pedal reflectors. Theimpact of the collision cracked the windshield of her SUV, dented thebumper, a headlight was busted, the roof where Brandon hit was dentedand scratched and a side mirror dangled by its wires.The report also states: “No breathalyzer was performed. Although police say no alcohol was suspected and no charges were laid.Simon’s husband, Jules Simon, a York Regional Police officer, wasdriving behind his wife that night, but little is mentioned about him asa witness in the police report. He pulled over when Brandon was struckand shortly after drove his wife home in his vehicle.Two hours later, after Brandon lay dead in hospital from multipletraumatic injuries, police knocked on the door of the Majewski’s home.The dogs began to bark. It was late.“I knew,” says his father, and his voice breaks again. “I had a gut feeling.”Therapy, medication, even booze, doesn’t dull the pain.And then, six months after the funeral, he awoke to find his secondson Devon, 23, who had just graduated as a paralegal, laying in his bed,blue and dead, after popping too many pills and drinking too manyshots. Not an intended suicide, they are certain — he was just trying tostifle his grief.“This has ripped our family apart,” says Majewski. “And now thiswoman has the gall to try to profit from our dead child she killed?Profit from another boy who was almost crippled?”He flips again through the family photographs. Happy times offishing, dirt biking, swimming, eating birthday cake, laughing. Hechuckles for a moment when he remembers all the bikes his son rebuilt —sometimes he would sneak the parts right into his bedroom, and shinethem till they gleamed. All another world away.“This thing haunts us,” he says. “It will never stop haunting us.”Cameron has launched a routine lawsuit against the driver, mainly formedical and funeral costs on behalf of the boys and their families. Healleges Simon was speeding and may have been intoxicated and talking onher cellphone.“Sharlene Simon failed to take reasonable care to avoid a collisionwhich she saw or should have seen was likely to occur,” his claimstates. “She operated the motor vehicle while she was intoxicated.”None of the allegations have been tested in court.Sources:
