This Guy goes to a bar, drinks to oblivion, gets in his car and drives drunk, exceeds the speed limit while talking on his cell phone and plows into a tow truck that was assisting a stalled vehicle. He drunk driver died at the scene.As if that’s not bad enough, the family of the drunk driver is now suing the following people:
1. The Bar who served him drinks for “allowing” his blood alcohol level to reach 2 times the legal limit.
2. The tow truck driver who was assisting the stalled vehicle for not moving the car and himself out of the road quick enough.
3. The tow Truck company for shits and giggles (and deep pockets)
4. The owner of the stalled vehicle for allowing his car to get run down to the point where it stalled on the highway.
Where the hell did common sense in this country go? How could a licensed/barred attorney take on this case with a straight face? What level of denial must a family be in to move forward with such a ridiculous lawsuit?
Trial lawyers are helping our country go to hell in a handbasket by ignoring the gross negligence of their clients in hopes of hitting the mother load. I used to hold them in high regard, now I just see them as bottom feeding, money grubbing, opportunists who are ushering in a new age of limited personal freedom for their own selfish personal gain. For those of you who are championing John Edwards this election season, I hope you'll do your homework. His contribution to this problem has now manifested itself in 28,000 sq feet in an exclusive neighborhood in NC.

Well, I hope the judge bifurcates the defendants from the suit. The only thing I can think is was the tow truck properly eluminated. As for the bar, if reports are correct they found drug paraphenila in his car that probably lead to his impaired state and not necessarily the bar serving him booze.
However, Missouri judges are pretty bad and probably rule most procedures in favor of the plaintiff. I already know of one case involving pharma that really made me angry because the judge did no even look to the issue of agency relationship.
