HOSPITAL RESPONSIBLE FOR NURSE'S DEATH?

I thought you might be interested in this case:  http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2502216/Family-nurse-killed-car-crash-sue-hospital-working-death.html

Nurse Beth Jasper was killed in a car accident on her way home from a 12 hour shift.  Her husband has brought a lawsuit against the hospital who employed her, claiming that the Jewish Hospital in Cincinnati, Ohio "worked her to death."

What do you think? Can staffing shortages and provider fatigue be blamed for this tragedy?
