The Dallas Cowboys Organization should take care of Behm's family for life. They should make sure they have everyting that they need. A trust fund is GREAT, but what I want to know is what is the Cowboy Organization providing,other then moral support. Jerry Jones and Company needs to come out and tell us what is going to be done that wil help Rich and his family.
Dee is exactly right. This is the Cowboys responsibility. I told my wife when it happened that at least the victims could sue someone with deep pockets (good insurance) in this case.
I have heard that Rich Behm has been set up for the rest of his and his family's life with a settlement in a six dollar figure from the insurance company and workers comp. All medical expenses will also be covered. I feel for this man and his family but how much more financial help does he need. Don't you think that Jerry should put some of his money in there if needed?
