Did I hear that we live in litigious society?

Mike Shannon's Restaurant, owned by the longtime Cardinals broadcaster who starred on three World Series teams in the 1960s, is a defendant in the case along with Shannon's daughter, Patricia Shannon Van Matre, the restaurant manager.
Other defendants include Eddie's Towing, the company whose flatbed tow truck was struck by Hancock's sport utility vehicle in the early hours of April 29; tow truck driver Jacob Edward Hargrove; and Justin Tolar, the driver whose stalled car on Interstate 64 was being assisted by Hargrove.
Strangely enough, not listed in the suit are Hancock's left or right hand, which clearly contributed to his intoxication, and his left and rigth foot, which brought him to his vehicle and helped manuever it into the stopped tow truck. Not to mention the dog's breakfast that was ontop his spine that seamed to be incontrol of the whole situation. Huh?
Who would'a thought?
I have a better idea. I think the towing company involved should bring a lawsuit against the surviving Hancock family. Not only was their employee put in unnecessary danger due to Josh Hancock's irresponsible behavior, so was their customer. Furthermore, the city of St. Louis should bring a suit against the Hancock's for rearing a negligent dumbass that was a menace to the public transportation system.
Somebody else has to be responsible, right?
