One can arguably see the point the attorney is making - in theory. However, there must be some degree of judgment that enters into the equation - some personal accountability as stated in an earlier comment. Say I take my car which is designed for city and highway driving (it implied that on the mileage declaration) and I put that car on a gravel road and drive like a winged rodent out of the infernal regions and wipe out. Does that give me the right to take the custodian of the road or the owner of the tree I hit into court? The end here is idiots' rights and we will all pay for the indiscretion of a few and the greed of those that litigate for them!
