$5,000,000 Settlement for Death of Teenager Unlawfully Served Alcohol

N/A

OUTCOME: $5,000,000 Settlement

An 18-year-old attended a sporting event, where he was illegally served multiple beers by vendors who did not check his identification and who failed to follow the arena’s limits on the volume of alcoh ... ol that could be sold to a patron. As he drove home, the young man could not navigate a turn and was killed in a one-car crash. Stephen Raynes and Martina McLaughlin worked together to successfully refute the defense that the young man was to blame for his own death and established that the responsibility rested with the vendor. A videotape settlement brochure allowed the family to express their painful loss without the need for their formal testimony. The Raynes McCarty team secured for the family a $5 million dollar pre-trial settlement from the vendors’ parent company.
