$5M Settlement for Drunk Driving Injuries

$5 million our firm acted as local counsel for a 57-year-old New Jersey woman that suffered extensive fractures throughout her body, requiring nine surgeries, and the need for assisted living, after her vehicle was struck head-on by a drunk driver. The other driver had spent the entire afternoon drinking at a popular New Jersey bar until she became so incoherent that she stole a valet-parked car and sped down a one-way street in the wrong direction, striking the plaintiff’s car, who was returning from work. We argued that the bar violated provisions of the New Jersey Alcoholic Beverage Server Fair Liability Act, more commonly known as the Dram Shop Act, which allows an injured party to sue a bar that served a visibly intoxicated person, where the service proximately caused foreseeable injuries.
