If you can show that the bar was negligent then you can definitely sue the bar. You should consult with an attorney. Do you know what happened to the OUI charge? Hope that this helps--Martha Kovner

If the bar served her when they knew or should have known she was intoxicated, you can join them as defendandts in any action tou may have against her. You should retain an attorney. Good Luck!
