I'd want the facts before I determine if a civil suit is warranted. She was 21, so was she living at home? Maybe helping her parents financially? I know I was, and if I'd been killed at 21, my disabled mother would have lost her house. You can bet she would have sued.

Yes, I would take some comfort in knowing that he'd be paying for the rest of his live in some way or other. So at least a judgement would interfere with his life, since if he could leave her there to die he won't be having fits of remorse anytime soon.
