There were multiple mistakes by people other than Hancock, but he made at least as many as everyone else combined.

I would hope the court would take into consideration that non-impaired motorists seemed to be having no issues with the potential hazards presented. If you take it from the perspective that those not drinking and driving did not get into an accident, than 100% of the blame should go to the driver that was impaired.
If Hancock were a fast food employee instead of a millionaire relief pitcher, I wonder if the father would have sued.
