Setting aside who might be liable, the victims have incurred real losses and real costs and should not be criticized for trying to seek compensation for those. Same is true for the families of those who were killed ... in many cases the financial loss of losing an income earner, a caregiver, and/or a parent is real and significant.

Alas,
I am one of those victims. Spent over two months in the hospital and 6 months off of work.
Liability is a nebulous thing. We would be stupid not to become involved since it is happening anyways.
