Do you agree with the precedent in this case where a woman who nearly died of a drug overdose sued her drug dealer?

23-year-old Sandy Bergen from Saskatchewan, Canada sued her meth dealer and won. Sandy and her family filed the lawsuit in 2005 after she overdosed, had a heart attack and was in a coma for 11 days. Sandy developed a heart condition that leaves her tired constantly and may effect her having children in the future. Sandy wants $50,000 in damages and medical expenses. A hearing will determine how much dough she actually gets. Good luck in trying to collect from a drug dealer. Sandy said she has taken responsiblity for her actions and wants him to take responsiblity for his. ''I think that's taking responsibility for my actions, I don't think I need to take responsibility for both of our actions. He should have to meet me half way and that's what this lawsuit was about. I think it's a different way to hit drug dealers financially and that's where it will really hurt them.''
