1) The facts in the article are wrong. If you look up my posting history and see what I do, you'll hopefully have a clue as to why I'm not going to say any more than that about this particular accident.
2) In most states, punitive damages are insurable. Not all, but most. That means that the insurance companies are paying for them.
3) Most people only carry minimal amounts of liability insurance. Most states have a $20,000 minimum, which would be burned up almost immediately by an accident like this.
I doubt I can find much more to say in this particular thread.
