Personal Injury Case Reports - Wrongful Death

Dram Shop - Wrongful Death; $225,000.00

The plaintiffs' decedent, a 25-year-old man, visited a cocktail lounge located in the defendant's hotel and consumed several "Long Island Iced Teas" within a 4-hour period. The plaintiffs' decedent was an employee of the hotel and stayed in the lounge after closing and served himself beer from the tap. The plaintiffs' decedent exited the lounge at approximately 3:30 a.m., and despite being extremely intoxicated, he attempted to drive himself home. En route home, the plaintiffs' decedent car exited the roadway and plummeted into Stony Brook River, killing him. This case was complicated by the decedent's driving record, which included two prior DUI convictions, and the defendant's argument that the negligence on the decedent's part was greater than the defendant's negligence, and thereby precluding liability. The case settled after one full day of mediation.
