I would assume the family will still probably get millions in a civil suit, correct?
Georgia, foreign sounding name, mom gets up on the stand and testifies in broken English. County's lawyer talks about 'tragic accident, no one at fault, protect our children from drugs, rabble rabble."
I wouldn't count on them getting a dime.

Not necessarily. Law enforcement officers are shielded with an initial level of immunity protection. And, winning against a particular officer does not necessarily mean that you win against the department or the municipality. You almost have to prove intentional conduct or conduct so grossly reckless that it counters what just about any other law officer would do; or, in order to reach the department, you have to prove wholly inadequate training procedures.
However, it sometimes occurs in cases as extreme as this seems that settlements are reached in order to avoid public relation nightmares.
