It's also worth noting that since she has pleaded guilty to a crime, none of the damages that she'll have to pay as a result of these lawsuits will be covered by her insurance company.
What is more intriguing is that the SUV she was driving belonged to her father. If my understanding of the law is correct, her father will soon be faced with a very interesting dilemma: File criminal charges against his daughter for stealing his SUV, or end up paying a big chunk of that $183 million himself.
Is that true? I mean a drunk driver kills some people and POOF! No tort, no claims. It seems the insurance company won't insure Grubman from the suits, but it would end up paying anyway. It would have to try to recover the judgements from Grubman.
