Although we try to be logical, and try to determine the true cause, effect, raminfications of one's actions, I believe the US/State court of law does not determine outcomes based on facts, but bases decisions on emotions and non-related facts such as race, age, etc. So, in reality, I believe in most cases the facts really don't matter. Laws don;t really matter either, as in this case, or the current FFR case vs SAI.
Was the driver drunk, did the victim know that and still get into the vehicle, was the driver speeding and the victim did not object. These are all relevent facts, but, in reality, they really don't matter. When someone is paralyzed, there is a lot of money to be made, and that's the moral of the story.
