Case 1:
A Shelby County resident was on his way to work early one morning
on U.S. Highway 280, when a drunk driver crossed the median and
struck him head on. He was catastrophically injured, underwent
several surgical procedures, and was left (drunk driving that caused
serious injury to another). Additionally, claims were asserted
against the drunk driver and against “Best-in-Town, Inc.,” an
establishment in Birmingham that does business as “The Furnace,”
a so-called “gentleman’s club” The Furnace suggested that the
drunk driver was served alcohol when he appeared intoxicated.
Those claims did not have to go to trial....
Case 2:
A Baldwin County resident was seven-months pregnant, and a
passenger in her husband’s car, when their car was rear-ended one
Sunday afternoon by a drunk driver traveling at a high rate of speed.
The female drunk driver, about 60 years of age, had spent much of
the afternoon drinking whiskey drinks at a bar; she pleaded guilty to
DUI in a criminal prosecution. Although the baby was eventually
born fine and its mother was blessedly spared any permanent injury,
a Baldwin County jury assessed both compensatory and punitive
damages in the lawsuit.
Case 3:
Lee County residents were traveling on I-85 in Lee County when they
were hit by a drunk driver who entered the interstate highway via the
exit ramp and traveled the wrong way. The drunk driver was killed in
a horrible collision that left 4 occupants in another car dead. The
survivors were injured badly in the collision. In the claims that
followed, evidence suggested that the drunk driver had been served
alcohol at a major restaurant chain while he was visibly intoxicated.
Those claims did not have to go to trial...
Case 4:
A Shelby County female resident's van was rear-ended on County
Road 119 in Shelby County by a doctor's BMW 740, with a tag that
read "LIVNWEL." The doctor claimed that he had been drinking at his
office. A passenger in the van was a young man with a severe
mental incapacity, and he was injured. The doctor faced criminal
prosecution, and pleaded guilty to DUI. In the civil claims that
followed, a settlement was reached without the necessity of trial.
