It is very sad. There was a lawsuit involving a bar serving underaged people who ultimately died in a drunk driving accident. I think that the family was originally awarded $20 million. This was a small family owned business that didn't have that much money so the amount was lowered. The bar was closed as a result which was what the family hoped.
I can understand the family suing. If my family was killed by a drunk driver, I would be angry and devastated. I would want to hold someone responsible. Since the driver died, no one can or will go to jail. Their only option for justice is a civil lawsuit. I really don't have a problem with this form of justice. I have a huge problem with the bartenders serving someone who was clearly drunk.
