Jerry, while driving in excess of the posted speed limit, was hit by a drunk driver who failed to obey a stop sign. Should Jerry be eligible for victim's compensation?

What will be an ideal response?


If the fact that he was speeding played no part in the accident, then Jerry probably would be allowed to receive payment. If there was a question as to whether his speed contributed to the accident, then some states would deny recovery based on contributory misconduct.
