I would rather society as a whole take on responsibility for caring for the permanently disabled, than try and place that entirely on the individual who disabled them (or on an insurance company that'll just fight it all the way).

We do take care of them, there is the SS Disability, the only problem is it is never enough $ to live the lifestyle they had prior

Society isn't an entity that can be assigned responsibility; it's simply the existence of communication, cooperation and trade between individuals.
