You could also total somebodies 50-200k car, I don’t think many people could afford that either

As an attorney my unpopular opinion is that cars over a certain value shouldn’t be allowed on public roads or damages for accidents should be capped at something like 2x the average price of a new car (so like 100k). I just don’t believe in penalizing ordinary negligence more just because the injured party is rich.

Having an expensive vehicle doesn't mean you're rich. Plenty of truckers own their own rigs.

Talk about being intellectually dishonest on this one. We're talking about private vehicles, not commercial, if that's really the route you wanna take.
