AURORA — Looking for anyone and everyone to sue is nothing new for lawyers and plaintiffs.

That appears to be the case for the parents of the 3-year-old boy killed in an accident at an Aurora ice cream shop on South Havana Street in 2008. The parents are suing many who came into contact with Francis Hernandez, an illegal immigrant found guilty of causing the crash.

They are going after the car dealership that sold the Chevy Suburban he drove in the crash because the person who purchased it, using one of Hernandez’s aliases, had an invalid driver’s license — and could be Hernandez himself. Because of that, they claim in the suit, the dealership and the selling agent were negligent.

The family of 3-year-old Marten Kudlis also is suing Hernandez, as well as the parents of his common-law wife because they may have provided him with the Suburban and knew he wasn’t legally licensed to drive it.

The 60-page lawsuit, filed in Arapahoe County District Court, lists more than 20 defendants.

One is Xcel Energy, which according to the suit, failed to “reasonably supervise, control and maintain” a switch box that was hit in the accident. The cover of the box hit Marten.

Both the Colorado Department of Transportation and the city of Aurora are being sued in connection with Havana being widened in 2003 to only 7 feet from a Baskin-Robbins.

Aurora City Attorney Charlie Richardson said the claim against the city is puzzling.

“It is certainly the first time that someone has alleged that an injury is due to improper setback on a city street and state highway,” Richardson said.

In addition, the suit names the parent company of Baskin-Robbins because the store’s wall facing Havana was made of glass and did not have safety barriers. The owner of the property where the shop sits is also a defendant.

Attorneys for the Kudlis family declined to comment.

Hernandez, 25, was convicted last week of 19 criminal counts and will be sentenced in April. He could face more than 100 years in prison.

Hernandez was driving about 80 mph when he hit a pickup driven by Patricia Guntharp. Her pickup hit the Baskin-Robbins, killing Guntharp, 49, and her passenger, Debra Serecky, 51. Marten Kudlis was in the shop with his mother.

The family of Guntharp, who was high on methamphetamine at the time of the crash is being sued as are several law enforcement agencies that arrested or cited Hernandez but did not report him to federal authorities for deportation.
