Too big to fail

Another exampe of what is wrong with our tort system (aka legal lottery)
LiveLeak.com - City to pay $4 million to bus crash victim
I don't see how this was the bus driver's fault in any way, shape, or form. The city of Quincy settled a 2010 lawsuit with a man who became paralyzed from the waist down in a crash involving a Quincy Transit bus.Nicholas Hanson, 29, of New London, Mo. was injured in the Nov. 10, 2010 crash near the intersection of South 36th Street and South Holford Drive.The city agreed to pay $4 million for the injuries Hanson suffered in the crash.

Sorry I watched the video. If you don't like the screams of a dying woman, don't watch.

No screams from any dying woman. Just an upset passenger. But the point is that the bus driver is completely faultless.
I would have more sympathy for the paralysed man if he weren't such a complete prick. And whoever authorized a $4 million settlement is an idiot.

Odd the driver at fault was not the one settling the lawsuit. Must be the deepest pockets concept.

What a load of crap. I'm amazed that anyone is getting money for that.
