The woman awarded the damages chose to ride in the vehicle with a drunk driver. I guess she doesn’t want to accept responsibility for her own actions and wants to blame someone else!
Unfortunately, she was able to bleed 99 Restaurant for a cool $5m. Now don’t get me wrong, I feel incredibly bad that she lost an arm but go after the driver who was responsible!!! Only his insurance coverage was proably minimal and not anywhere close to where the $$$ was at…
Because of all the ambulance chasers on the street people are no longer responsible for their own actions. Someone else is almost always made to pay…
The pure hard cold fact is where was the manager of this operations. Liqour controls were developed for a reason. TIP’s was clearly absent here. The party should of not been been allowed in a vehicle to drive. This is a breakdown of basic restaurant risk management liqour controls within an operations.
I agree that a restaurant should not serve someone that is visibly intoxicated. But if you’ve ever worked in a bar or restaurant you know it isn’t always that simple.
This woman got into a vehicle being driven by someone that had consumed 11 beers. What an IDIOT!!
I agree. Her recovery should be limited to what she can get from the drunk driver as he/she is responsible for the loss of her arm. To bad the same sentiment is not applied to AIG, Banks, and probably the Auto Industry very soon. Go after the people resonsible, like the Executives who consistently and without remorse exibited horrible judgement. (funny how that never happens) I guess the “deep pockets theory” applies across the board to all facets of society.
An “off-duty employee”!?? Where is the liability in that? No one forced him to drink and no one forced her to get in the car. They alone are responsible for their actions. My son is a bartender and I’ve never known him to hold anyone down and force liquor down their throat.
Did these facts not come into play?!?! It’s not like the woman couldn’t tell that someone 11 beers deep was intoxicated.
It is sad that people today have no resposibility for themselves. Why not sue the manufacturer of the alcohol then?
Try the morons on the jury and judge that let the verdict stand. We need a professional jury system like Japan has. They’re educated, well-compensated, and can function objectively. What kind of woman hangs out in a bar until after closing and takes a ride with a boozer? She probably couldn’t drive because her own license was revoked on a DUI.

The restaurant didn’t cause the lady’s arm to be amputated, the drunk driver did. Go after the driver and leave everyone else alone.
So is the jury that awarded the verdict. SPREAD THE WEALTH. We will all be rich within a year. Barry H. said so!!!!!!!
