Reply #27: If Wal-Mart had to sue someone, shouldn't they have sued the trucking company?

[begin_within]

If the trucking company was at fault, and caused harm to the woman as well as causing financial harm to Wal-Mart, shouldn't Wal-Mart have sued the trucking company for the damages, and not the woman? The woman didn't cause the accident, so how could Wal-Mart target her in a court of law?

The party that caused the damages should have paid for everything, including (if the court so decides) whatever damages they cause to Wal-Mart. I don't see how the court could possibly hold the woman in the middle of a financial dispute between the trucking company and Wal-Mart over medical bills. That should have only involved the 2 companies and should not have affected the woman's compensation at all.
