The Chiefs have reached an agreement with Ariel Young’s family that covers the five-year-old girl’s ongoing medical treatment after she was injured when former Chiefs assistant coach Britt Reid hit her family’s car while driving drunk earlier this year.

A statement from the Chiefs and the Young family’s attorney says that the two sides have been working with medical experts for months on a plan for Young’s present and future care.

“The parties have finalized a comprehensive care plan that provides Ariel with world-class medical care and long-term financial stability,” the statement said.

Young continues to recover from the injuries she sustained in February, but the statement notes that she was able to attend her first day of school this fall.

  1. I completely agree that Britt Reid is a POS and needs to face the consequences of his actions, but how is the the Chiefs issue?

  2. Really glad to hear she’s pulled through this and is in the middle of recovery. The fact that she was able to attend school is fantastic news. I’m also glad to hear that the chiefs organization as a whole is taking care of it, instead of leaving it up to lawyers and the courts and Britt Reid.

  3. That’s BS.

    The Chiefs should have no involvement.

    The Reid’s should be paying for this.

  4. They know an attorney and a juror might hand down a huge settlement amount against the franchise.

  5. The Chiefs are taking care of it because
    #1 It’s the right thing to do
    #2 It was one of their people that caused it
    #3 It’s a PR move
    So for anybody asking why the Chiefs should do anything…there ya go.

  6. The Chiefs are involved because Britt Reid was most likely drinking in the team facility and others knew about it. The Chiefs would rather pay up than come clean about their inner workings under Reid.

  7. Clearly to get ahead of any liability they may suffer in a civil suit. He was drinking a corporate party before.a civil suit before a jury might see them hit with fault. Plus it’s the right thing to do.

  8. Why the Chiefs instead of the Reid’s? Well he was drinking at the facility for starters and this is a good PR move not to mention keep the HC happy.

    Let’s face it Andy Reid was not himself in the Super Bowl.

  9. I’m guessing since Reid was leaving the team’s practice facility and they probably have liquor and beer there, some law or ordinance would apply liability to the organization as well. This is better PR than hearing he got ripped in the exec lounge and drove off.

    Sometimes you don’t do what’s legal you just do what you think is right.

  11. There’s no question as to “Who’s at fault”!
    Despite the possible legal ramifications, the fact that the Chiefs stepped up and did this for this child speaks volumes about their concerns for the human factors involved. Can you imagine where Dan Snyder would be?
    This Packer fan tips his hat to the Chiefs!
