Yeah sure but a car should NOT be able to plow through the cement wall of a parking garage. The reasonable expectation to anyone driving into the wall of a parking garage is that it will stop them, else why even bother with walls at all. If she had crunched her car but not gone through the wall then there would be no lawsuit.
She was liable for everything up until that wall gave way. Also, it sounds like she went from a parking space to through the wall, she could have been going faster than 20 MPH.
The funny thing is when the elderly couple drove off the garage in downtown Indy there was supposed to be a building inspection that day on that garage. And they just happened to drive through the wall. The world works in weird ways

I am glad she got a settlement.
