Bar Reaches Settlement With "Habitual Drunkard" Over Car Crash
According to the Palm Beach Post, a 30-year-old man described by his own lawyers as a "habitual drunkard" received a settlement from a Boynton Beach, Florida bar. He allegedly left the bar while visibly intoxicated and smashed his car, injuring three passengers. The passengers have filed a separate lawsuit against the bar. The defendant was convicted of a felony DUI in the case, and served two years in prison. He ran a red light at a busy intersection and collided with another car. The Palm Beach Post reports that his passengers received severe injuries, including a broken pelvis and internal abdominal injuries.
