I can't even... WTF. How are cases like this even entertained by the courts? And how can a deceased driver who was killed from being rear-ended A: be sued? and B: possibly be at fault?

Quote:David Belniak had drugs in his system and never hit the brakes when he slammed into the back of a family's SUV while it was stopped at a red light. Three people died.
In 2011, he 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.
In 2012, his attorney, Debra Tuomey, who is also his sister, sued the deceased driver of the SUV, alleging the crash was the victim's fault.
