BAR AND PATRON WILL PAY $400,000 DAMAGES

(10/08/2008)

Bar owners should be on the alert for patrons who have had too much to drink, according to a recent Kanawha County verdict. A Kanawha County jury has ordered a bar owner and a man convicted of drunk driving to pay nearly $400,000 in damages in a fatal highway accident. The circuit court jury's verdict is in a lawsuit filed in 2002 by Michael Landers of South Charleston against the owners of Frank's Place. Landers' mother was one of three people killed when a car driven by a drunk driver who left the bar collided with another vehicle on State Route 21 in February 2000.
