To satisfy my own curiousity I looked it up. The underage driver had three other boys in the car in addition to the girl who was killed. He had just been released from jail in June on an assault conviction. The accident was in August. I did not find anything indicating whether or not the girl had been drinking.
Now, let’s review…where were all of the parent’s???
Who cares where her parent’s were, she’s an adult? Where’s your parent Curious? They should have monitored you writing this before you wrote it. You little whipper snapper you!
Curious,
Did your parents always know where you were? Did you never sneak out or lie to them? Did you never drive after a few drinks or get into a car with a driver who was not totally sober?? Years from now, I bet you will be sitting around with your family and your girls will have a good laugh at your expense, pointing out how clueless you were thinking you always knew what your daughters were doing!
Excuse me Mr. Maturity, but I think that the parents of the 23 year old accused of serving minors are also being sued. Sounds like it happened on their property, and WHO is legally liable for what happens on their property? Forget the choices of some of age kids. The bottom line is what happens at your house is your responsibiilty. Right or wrong, where were the parents? I am “Curious” as well.
I can’t account for my 18 yr daughter actions, let alone know where she is all hours of the day. Mine is off to college in another town and MUST be responsible for her own choices. I have done my job with raising her. If she chooses to drink and/or get into a car with someone who chose to drink – it’s harsh but it was her decision. After all, it’s call an accident for a reason. These parents are in shock, but they don’t have a leg on to sue the owners of a home because adults left their own and were under the influence. That’s why we are called adults…hello people!
The problem with that thinking is ultimately as the homeowners they are responsible for what occurs on their property. If they allowed their children to have a big property where minors (under 21) were served, they still have some liability.
Definition, per Fundamentals of Insurance: “A defense arguing that the plaintiff consented, expressly or by implication, to relieve the defendant of the duty to protect and accepted the chance of injury from the particular risk causing the injury.”
The actual given example: “A passenger who voluntarily chooses to ride in a vehicle with an intoxicated driver has assumed any risk associated with such activity, and is barred from recovering damages from the intoxicated driver.”

She was not “given” alcohol. She chose to drink it. Actions have consequences and someone else is not responsible for everything you do.

I’ll bet she got in the backseat first
