Whether a drunk smashed into them is totally irrelevant (although it is predictable why you would think differently).

Had their car not had the defective gas tank, the result would not have been such a disaster. Had the car manufacturer not made a cold business calculation that it was cheaper to pay off the families of the dead and injured than fix the defect, they would not have been morally culpable.

I think all sorts of personal injury suits are stupid, particularly the ones where the people who got injured did something stupid themselves. However, in this case they did not.
