Let's say you get drunk and kill an old lady while driving a rental car. Who's at fault? The rental car company,
of course.A Harris County jury on Wednesday awarded $24.7 million to the family of a woman killed by a drunken driver who had rented a car despite having multiple citations and a suspended license.
Jurors held the driver responsible, as well as his car insurance company and the rental car agency.
Enterprise spokeswoman Christy Conrad told the Associated Press that Tate had presented the company with a valid driver's license.
So because this guy lied to the rental company, they get penalized for doing business with him,
and because he didn't have any money. That's just super.
