Family of man trampled to death at Wal-Mart files suit

CNN, and many other news sources, are reporting that the family of the man trampled to death on "Black Friday" is suing Wal-Mart. 

The suit was filed yesterday, just 5 days after the tragic event.  I don't know the New York lawyer involved in the lawsuit, or his rationale for filing suit now, but why the hurry?  Perhaps this puts more pressure on Wal-mart, but surely there hasn't been any attempt to settle the case.  All of the facts are likely not even known.  What about the crazy "shoppers" that were involved in the man's death?  The lawyer is certainly getting free publicity for filing suit now though.
