the sad part about these suits is that OUR commentary does not reach the ears of those who need to be informed: juries. For some reason, our judicial system has been leaning away from personal responsibility and toward......drum roll. please.....MONEY. The banking industry has a big lobby why can't insurance do better to stop this nonsense. When I was a kid, there was a stigma to being stupid enough to not only drink, drive and get caught; no one in their right mind would have thought to bring a suit like this and incur the unending derision of their friends, neighbors and law enforcement....You were expected to suck it up and play the hand you dealt.
