As a cousin of Cory Stauble, I feel quite hurt by the responses in this thread. I was actually in Kentucky, visiting family, when this happened, so I was able to hear and experience the whole story.
TGI Friday's was clearly at fault here, because they were serving drinks to Eberenz even when he was showing clear signs of intoxication and was not fit to go out at all.
Bash the Staubles and Parsleys all you want for getting $21 million, but that's not the point of why they sued for money. Because this was one of the largest settlements in the history of these types of cases, this case also has the most impact on society and helps to do a lot in order to better the community as a whole. This wasn't just some incident where someone got killed and the other party settled. This actually changed how people ran a business, and how other people looked at drunk driving.
You may also be interested to know that a lot of the money (if not most) has been put toward the Jamie & Cory Foundation.
