I can see paying the medical bills and maybe a little more if it really was an accident waiting to happen, but not a million dollars. Seems a tad excessive. Stuff happens. Sometimes an accident is just an accident.

A million $$$ in Orange County is not the same as $1M in other parts of the country. Million $$$ homes in Orange county would be $150-250K in other parts of the country.
