Who do we sue? The bar, the car dealership, the driver, or all 3?

Your question following this tragedy is exactly right. There is a real chance you'll need to sue them all.

You should have your sister call a lawyer. Many in your area will provide you a free consulation to discuss in more detail your circumstance. The phone call is a recommended way for you to explore more options you may have including whether more can be made about your position. Contact me if you'd like.

Good luck to you.

Your sister should find a personal injury attorney as soon as possible to handle the mechanics of the claim. While I can't answer your question with certainty without knowing all the facts, from what you stated, the drunk driver, local car dealer, and the person(s) and/or establishments that served the driver would all be likely defendants. The goal would be to find as much coverage as possible to ensure, as best as can be done, your sister and her family are taken care of.
