I would guess that the gal did not have her problem until after she was on the road, and did not attempt to drive after her problems occurred. I would give her the benefit of doubt. You would assume she took the wheel in her coma, to justify her treatment.
Those who have access to his personnel records and his union brothers, should pay the judgment, not the taxpayers. Since the public has no access to the personal files, the public is not the employer.
Are you talking about Patrick Kennedy? Oh, wait, never mind -- you said "gal".
Well then, I guess neither one of them is at fault -- at least, not in your book. In mine, they are. Totally.
I got a question. What if the cop pulls her out of the car, she grabs the steering wheel, breaks her arm. Or the cop pulls her out of the car, she slips from his grasp, hits her head on the road and gets cut.
Does she still get to sue?
Or is it just because he tasers her?
And, did she recieve any permanent injury? Or just the usual lawyereese? You know, every time she hears a siren now she wets herself, her husband/and or companion, et al also sues for 'loss of companionship' etc. etc. etc.
In the end, the city will give her a couple thousand dollars to settle out of court, El Sharko will take his bite and be off to the next ambulance scene.
