Subject: Wait... the POLE was 10% at fault?
The driver was drunk but the utility company is at fault for putting the pole there, they should have known to put the pole further from the road to protect drunk idiots from themselves?
The injured girl got into a car with a drunk driver but it's Volkswaggon's fault for not making seatbelts able to protect every person in every instance?
Just goes to show, the deeper your pockets the more your odds of being liabile for something.
Where's the suit for whoever provided the liquor to someone clearly too stupid to drink responsibly? Must have been a small enough merchant to be insulated from suit... why sue the corner bar with $1000 in the till?
This suit (and others like it) is/are rediculous. The only person or entity that should be sued is the driver who CAUSED the accident.
