Parkland victims sue, calling gun maker and seller complicit in massacre - Sun Sentinel
Looks like they are asking a judge if they can sue the companies. If they loose, they pay the bills according to the article.
So it seems that for this to go through, the PLCAA would have to be overturned. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protection_of_Lawful_Commerce_in_Arms_Act\
I'm sure this has Bloomberg money behind it. For the sake of the parents, I hope it turns out better than the Brady help the family of an Aurora shooting got. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/lonnie-and-sandy-phillips/lucky-gunner-lawsuit_b_8197804.html

The parents of Jaime Guttenberg and Alex Schachter want a judge to clear the way for them to claim damages against American Outdoor Brands, formerly known as Smith & Wesson, and Sunrise Tactical Supply......
......Before the lawsuit can go forward, their attorneys said, judges have to clarify that gun manufacturers and sellers can be sued by victims. “A confusingly written Florida statute stands in the way,” the attorneys wrote. “If the defendants claim that [the law] entitles them to immunity from such claims, and the courts agree,” the victims will be forced to pay the gun maker’s and seller’s legal fees instead of recovering damages........
.......The Guttenbergs and Schachter want a judge to either declare that the law does not block them from collecting damages —or to declare the law unconstitutional.
