<<The majority of the responsibility lies with the drunk driver who smashed into them at 70 mph.>> There was a case in Chicago about 8 years ago where a guy who was blind drunk went off the tollway while speeding. He was thrown from his vehicle because he was not wearing his belt even though it was the law. He was quite a ways from the road and a guy wire to a telephone pole cut his head off. Drunk, speeding and no belt and the pole was on right of way ground and his family collected $20 million from GTE. I think the way they are doing liability in Florida where the responsibility is shared makes sense. Ambulance chasers don't like it much though. I had a lawyer tell me that a cast is worth a $10,000 settlement no matter what.
