If you can prove they acted negligently in some way, yes, they are legally responsible to pay for the damages they caused, which means the anticipated cost of all this lady's injuries for the rest of her life. Your auto insurance includes bodily injury coverage -- for you injuring someone with your car -- but typical limits are $50-100,000 per person per accident. If the other driver was negligent, and she sued him/her, then that person would be on the line for the rest of the bills because normal insurance coverage would not pay enough for all these surgeries and physical therapy.

The stream can be ordinarily saved. There's no mechanism that attempts to prevent you from doing so at all. You can just copy the URL out of the network tab of your browser while a video is playing, right click it, and save. YouTube does not employ any technical measure that attempts to prevent you from copying videos. Aaron Swartz' case has no relation to this situation whatsoever.

Edit: You're not being downvoted because people don't like the law. You're being downvoted because you don't know what you're talking about.

I didn't say to save the webpage HTML. I said to save the video file, whose URL you can find in the network tab of your browser (F12, click Network) when it's playing. It's just an MP4/WEBM/FLV video file, which Windows Media Player or your favorite app will play offline just fine.

Many modern webpages do not contain all of the content which they display

If by "modern" you mean every webpage since 1993, when Marc Andreessen invented the IMG tag for the X Mosaic browser. Thanks for the history lesson.

Of course the engineers at Google thought of that.

The engineers at Google didn't think of anything. They didn't do anything to make their webpage work like all webpages. There is no method by which the video data would be embedded in the HTML. It's an external resource, like everything on the page that isn't just text, which I described how to save.
