Mother Killed After Being Served Intoxicants While Obviously Intoxicated, $180,000 Settlement

Settlement/Verdict: $180,000.00

Attorney: Jeffrey M. Montpetit
Practice Area: Drunk Driver Accident
Client Injury: Death

We represented the surviving father and two minor children after their mother was killed in a single vehicle accident. Her blood alcohol content was determined to be .29 at the time of her death, or nearly 4 times the legal limit. Prior to her death, the wife and mother of two was drinking at a local bar for nearly six hours. The bartender served her and continued to serve her even when she was obviously intoxicated.

Jeff Montpetit brought claims against the bar for violating well-established Minnesota Law, which makes it illegal to serve a patron who is obviously intoxicated. The litigation process was extensive.  Jeff Montpetit recovered $180,000 for the victim's family.
