It should be illegal to bring cases like this to court

I'm not sure it gets much more ludicrous than this. From Moonbattery:

If suing dead teenagers over damage caused by their flying body parts after they are hit by trains isn’t crazy enough to evoke outrage, maybe this will work:

David Belniak had drugs in his system and never braked when he slammed into the back of a family’s car stopped at a red light on Christmas Day 2007. Three people died.

In August, Belniak pleaded guilty to three counts of DUI manslaughter and was sentenced to 12 years in prison. He never said a word in court, not even when the victims’ children begged him for an apology.

But now he has plenty to say — through his lawyer.

Last month, Belniak’s attorney filed a lawsuit against the now-deceased driver of the other car, alleging the crash was the victim’s fault.

Belniak was going between 75 and 85 when he crashed his pickup into his lawsuit’s victims’ SUV, crumpling it up like a beer can. He was on alcohol, Xanax, and cocaine at the time. His previous driving history included two DUIs and killing a pedestrian.

The suit asks for the victims’ relatives to pay Belniak, 38, for his “pain and suffering … mental anguish … loss of capacity for the enjoyment of life” and the medical bills he got as a result of a crash he pleaded guilty to causing.

Maybe the legal profession would become respected again if lawyers bringing suits like this were disbarred — followed by a public tarring and feathering.
