Can someone explain this to me:

A federal judge adds more than $3.3 million in interest to a $15 million verdict a jury awarded a Tulsa couple whose son was killed in a 2003 traffic accident. The judge decided yesterday the prejudgment interest from Ford Motor Company should be added to the amount the jury awarded Kevin and Veronica Moody. The Moody’s son 18-year-old son Tyler was killed in a single-vehicle rollover crash when he lost control of his 1995 Ford Explorer Sport while passing another vehicle in a no-passing zone on a curve.

So the kid was driving clearly in an unsafe manor, rolled his car in a “single-vehicle” crash and now the family gets $15 mil? If thats the story and I’m not missing anything I have now discovered the true reason for my car insurance being so high. I thought it was for idiots on the road, now I know it’s idiots in court rooms and corporate board rooms.
