but are we missing the whole point?! who's really at fault? afterall, did she not RIDE in the drunks car? did the drunk get behind the wheel? how about, if i draw my share the wealth card and make a civil suit against all the passengers because they allowed him to get behind the wheel. press a civil suit against the party that gave him/her the drinks. we can spin the wheel and point to a variety of faults, but in reality - it was her fault knowing stepping into the vehicle for a ride home with the drunk behind the wheel and knowing that the law states - drinking and driving is against the law. so does that mean the state can no re-charge for negligent assault - conspiracy. can we as (NON) lawyers, think of someone better to sue!.... i think i need to get a law degree and truly sue all those involved. or become a DA and sue everyone that had a partial interest in getting that drunk off the road but did not!... i think that the vw will prevail - there is now way we can keep everyone safe; even w/the new side airbags. so if someone get hurt while the airbags go off to protect them, we are going to sue again?! how far does an automaker have to go? this is one case, where we have gone over the edge. next thing you'll tell me is that the frame underneath shud have held up against the force that hit the pole. if that frame did not hold, we can sue the maker of the frame - oh, that VW again! truly, i see $$$ i can use various avenues. *** must want to make money and become one of these loving lawyers that are willing to put more money in my pocket no matter the cost to the consumer who hired me...so i can make millions of dollars and live out my life on someone else's misfortune and company money from VW. so who is the winner, surely not the victim nor the drunk driver - the lawyer, who'll get a huge portion of the check.
