I feel for this woman, but I hope this case goes to court and she gets awarded one single penny. That'll send a message.

Yes, this poor woman lost her husband, but he's no less dead than if he'd gotten in a car wreck. Then who would she sue?

Something about a defendant with deep pockets sure draws out the lawyers.

that depends on the circumstances of the wreck. plenty of them are due to negligence. bad example.

Right on. Total sympathy for her loss, but no sympathy whatsoever for trial lawyers trying to exploit the situation. There has been an enormous amount of money donated from people all over the country, making lawsuits unnecessary.

Morever, such a lawsuit is UNAMERICAN. It might even fall under "aid and comfort to the enemy". I'm sure this is unintentional, but think about it--if a jury awards a multi-million or even billion dollar award, United is out of business. That throws our economy into a further downward spiral, effecting not only the country at large, but the individual stock holders throughout the land (50% of the American public.)

Again, we're devastated by your loss, but respectfully say, "Thanks a lot lady."

Then who would she sue? She could sue person(s) or corporations at fault in causing the accident.

The other driver or his/her insurance company.
