The fact that family sue their own family is another reason for why the US is a dumpster fire. this culture of sueing for every little thing is frankly utterly stupid.

Plus, if you are in the car knowing the driver has been drinking? You only have yourself to blame for letting a drunk driver actually drive the car.

It isn't really like that in my experience. Often the situation is created by the insurance industry. You get injured, are on the hook for a six-figure sum, and your insurance forces a suit because they would rather claw the money from another party than pay it themselves.

No. Morgan has a reputation of drinking, from what I understand. My mother's lawyer was his best friend, Bill Luckett.
