How Did This Accident Occur?
If allegations are true, then obviously a driver being drunk would explain how a crash happened. In my experience, though, that’s often just half of the full story. Especially early in the morning, it’s possible that driver was unlawfully over-served by a negligent alcohol provider. That, too, needs to be considered. Here’s why.
I’ve handled hundreds of drunk driving accident investigations where it turned out the driver had been over-served by a bar, restaurant, or similar venue. When those establishments go on to face consequences, they tend to clean up their act. Accountability has a way of getting folks on the right track. When those establishments fly under the radar, though, they get to continue putting lives at risk. Even if an alleged drunk driver faces consequences for their actions, failing to put a negligent alcohol provider on the straight-and-narrow means accidents are bound to keep happening.
So while it’s possible this all falls on one person’s shoulders, it’s important for investigations to find that out for sure. Families deserve to see accountability for the harm done to them, and that means more than just pinning blame on the first person police find.
Do you agree that complicit alcohol providers should be part of these investigations? Let me hear your take in the comments.
