<p>[quote user="zugmann"]So if you were driving drunk and crashed into a utility pole - would you support suing the utility company for having the audacity to place that pole there??[/quote]</p><p>It may seem like anyone who trespasses deservers whatever they get, but it is not that simple. If it were, nobody would have to worry about liability hazards on their property. </p><p>And people do indeed get sued for placing solid obstacles on their own private property that were subsequently struck by drunk drivers. There are laws in some states where authorities can enter your private property and remove such obstacles or <em>roadway departure hazards</em> as they are called.</p>
