drunk driving death
My brother was overserved at a bar and was allowed to leave. He drove off a bridge and passed away. The bartender admitted to overserving him and allowing him to leave. She was charged with a crime(not sure what). His girlfriend at the time was 3 months pregnant. Who can sue the bar? My parents or his girlfriend or his son.
