Drunk driver sues bar for getting him drunk.

A Dallas man is suing a bar where he spent eight hours in December for allegedly serving him too much to drink, leading him to crash his car.
According to the Dallas Morning News, Gordon Savage is suing W.W. Fairfield's restaurant and club in Richardson after an eight-hour drinking binge that culminated in him leaving the bar and getting behind the wheel of his vehicle. He ended up crashing into a dividing wall on the North Central Expressway.
quote:
Savage is seeking nearly $1 million in damages from the watering hole.
The man's lawyer alleges that the bar continued to serve him after 2 a.m. He crashed his vehicle just after 3 a.m., according to the report, and suffered severe injuries in the process. He was not charged with driving while intoxicated, however, and no one else was injured in the crash.

Sadly, I'm sure this idiot will win his case too. This fricking country.

Yep, it's called responsible alcohol management program and social host liability.
It's complete and utter bull shite but the bar should have cut him off. He shouldn't have driven drunk but they failed to deny service.

This happens more than you think. A good bartender buddy of mine had a lawsuit hanging over his head for about 5 years. I can't recall why, but the suit was retracted.
When I bartended, if someone was clearly drunk, they got cut off by me with a quickness. Also cut down on fighting.

It just amazes me that the guy can offer his drunk driving crash as evidence that he was too intoxicated, yet was not charged with driving while intoxicated.
Can the bar ask him to prove that he was drunk?

That person died, and the family received damages.
This a-hole wrecked his own shite and walked away. What are the grounds for $1,000,000 in damages?

He should sue the alcohol manufacture too.

Is this any different than blaming gun manufactures for guns used in murders?
PEOPLE need to be held responsible for their own actions.

Yep no individual responsibility anymore.

Dram shop laws are centuries old but have been on the way out for a while now. So basically you have it backwards.

I would think that the fact that he wasn't charged with DUI could be suggested as proof that he wasn't drunk?

Ok. Then what's his case? I'm honestly trying to understand his basis for damages from the bar.
If he was served too much, and was documented as intoxicated at his crash, I would get the case. But the lack of DWI suggest the opposite, as you say. So how is the bar liable for any damage to him or his vehicle? Much less $1,000,000.
