CliffsNotes Version of Big Problem with American Legal System

CliffsNotes Version of Big Problem with American Legal System
This:
http://www.tampabay.com/news/courts/civi...me/2134382

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.

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?
