He is suing the restaurant for over serving....


"Other defendants include Eddie's Towing, the company whose flatbed tow truck was struck by Han****'s sport utility vehicle in the early hours of April 29; tow truck driver Jacob Edward Hargrove; and Justin Tolar, the driver whose stalled car on Interstate 64 was being assisted by Hargrove."


I understand this guy is upset but come on. His son was acting VERY irresponsibly and the blame lies solely on him. Thoughts?
 
This guy is an a** clown. PERIOD. Sign of the times, nobody is responsible for the consequences that befall them. It's all somebody elses fault.

Your son got too drunk. Your son got in the car. Your son turned the key and began to drive. Your son put others at risk of death. If you want to sue someone, sue yourself for being a douchebag.

That being said, this suit has no chance, unless some other facts arise not alleged in the article.
 
This is standard procedure in lawsuits. You sue any and everyone you can and hope something sticks!

I dont know if that's true. Seems like there is some precedent with bars getting in trouble for not cutting people off if I remember correctly.
 
From what I read, the owner of the bar asked Han**** if he needed a ride home and Han**** declined. If the owner of the bar knew Han**** wasn't in condition to drive and no-one stopped him from driving, that's where the bar becomes in trouble. Even if the owner of the bar left before Han****, if the owner knew he was to drunk to drive and didn't do anything to stop him, the bar is in trouble. I don't agree with it because I think there was more to Han****'s death then just him drinking (on the phone, got found with pot, ect) but I think that is where this is stemming from.

There is precedent, but note I was speaking as to this particular case. A case in which this guy was stopped for a DUI before, wasn't wearing a seatbelt, and had weed in his car. Everything in this case points to the guy being completely careless.

However, I'll go farther and say that no bar should be responsible for any of its patrons once they leave the facility. You know what? Don't get too drunk, or get someone else to drive. It's on you, not somebody else. If society preached responsibility for ones own actions, this would happen less.
 
this ******* is suing the guy whos car broke-down? Is he serious? What a douchebag, seriously.

Exactly. Everyone gets up in arms about "oh no, he's suing the guy whose car was on the side of the road, what a jerk!" More than likely, Papa Han**** said, "I want to sue" and his attorney decided to include every possible defendant. And that's just good practice. There's about a 99% chance that everyone except the bar would be dismissed right away, but if there's one sure-fire way to submarine your own lawsuit, it's failing to include every possible defendant. Nothing scares an attorney like the "empty chair" defense. "He's the guilty one, Your Honor, the defendant that the plaintiff failed to name in the lawsuit!"

Here's the bigger question, though: Han**** was a grown man, with no spouse, no children and no dependents of which I'm aware. What standing does his father (who was presumably not a dependent) have to sue? He's not suffering a monetary injury, which is usually a requirement for a wrongful death suit.
 
What an idiot, plain and simple. Raise your kid to have a little bit of responsibility and you wouldn't be in this situation.
 
...biggest problem with our society today. Not many people are willing to accept any personal responsibility these days. It has to be "someone else's" fault. I'm sorry for his loss, but it appears that his grief has taken an ugly turn.
 
ok i can see the father suing the bar, but their is no way the man who's car stalled or the tow truck company should get sued. that's just crazy, Han**** was driving drunk, had marijuana in possession and was on a cell phone, he is the only one negligent in this case
 
It's always someone else who is at fault in this country. They need to change our judicial system in the United States. In Europe if you sue someone over something like this and LOSE, you have to pay all the lawyer and court fees for both sides. This helps to prevent frivalous and stupid lawsuits. Great idea.
