Wings vs. BFR

Setting aside the fact that in the U.S. anyone can sue anyone else for just
about any reason, I am unaware of any FAA regulation that would make a CFI
responsible for the actions of a pilot they had signed off on their BFR.

It would be helpful if you could cite case law or regulations that support
your claim.
