Family Sues Restaurant for DUI Related Fatality

A drunk driving accident not only led to the death of a man and also has a famous restaurant in trouble. The accident was caused by the assistant manager of Husk, a hot restaurant in Charleston, South Carolina that has been recognized by Bon Appetit magazine. Last year Q.M., 32, was driving home late one night when he was hit from behind by A.J.B. The impact of the crash was so severe that the first vehicle burst into flames, trapping the victim inside.

By the time that police arrived on the scene, the victim had been declared dead. The responding officers quickly determined that A.J.B. was driving under the influence of alcohol, a fact that was proved by his .24 blood alcohol level. Now the family of the victim has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the restaurant. The suit claims that the bar continued to serve the suspect alcohol past the legal serving time of 2 a.m. They say that this led to the death of their son last year. People who are thinking about filing a wrongful death claim should always work with an experienced personal injury lawyer.
