It says there in the article that the dog was a seeing eye dog which is obviously very important to her and her lifestyle because of the fact that she is blind.
You know we can argue all day if $500,000 was a bit over the top in terms of it being compensated for her injuries and mental anghuish she had to endure because of this situation. Personally I think it is a bit too over the top. Hopefully with the money she has she will put it to good use to help with her all the physical and emotional pain she is dealing with. The only thing I will agree with is that its good to see harsher punishments for drunk drivers because I've seen too many times in which drunk drivers will manage to escape the consequences of their actions. I recall one news story that happened in Newfoundland. A drunk driver had pulled into a gas station to fill up his vehicle. The gas station attendant had noticed that the person was heavily under the influence of alcohol. He decided to notify the police that there was going to be a drunk driver on the road and gave the police the license plate # of that person's vehicle. The person eventually got arrested and charged for impaired driving. At court the person that got arrested got out of court without any reprucusions whatsoever. I don't understand the full reasoning why but it was something along the lines that court couldn't count on the witnesses testimony because it was through his point of view that he thought the driver was drunk. The cop had pulled over the driver not because he was driving recklessly, but becuase of a tip from a witness that he was under the influence of alcohol. The judge threw that claim out saying that only the police have the authority to pull over somebody for impaired driving through their own observation and not through the observations of a witness. I don't understand the all the laws that deal with impaired driving, its just what I remember from this incident despite it being a few years ago. Jam it back in, in the dark.  |
