Relaxing CSV parsing rules on quotes

We have a CSV data set that does a bad job with escaping quoted strings
like this:

"Smith"^"John"^"Something - "Garbage Here""^"john.smith@testing.com"

Is there any way to tell the CSV readers to just split on the delimiter,
try their best and take whatever garbage is in between if the field is a
string type?

Thanks,

Mike
