Other than the damages handed down, no, it is 100% an ordinary, run of the mill dram shop liability case. This happens literally every day and other than taking this franchisee and maybe an insurance company to the cleaners, not much else will change.

-- yes, I'm trying to win the incredibly insensitive award for this thread. I have a lot of competition, but I'm confident in my abilities.

Especially since at the end of the day, when you're talking about a company as large as TGI Fridays, the only cost difference they'll see is in their insurance premiums.

Which they'll pass on to their customers in higher prices.
