BLUFFTON, S.C. -- A woman is suing a Bluffton bar because a bartender didn't check her age before serving her on the night of the 2009 wreck that paralyzed her.
The Beaufort Gazette reports that Chelsea Hess, who was then 20 years old, is a paraplegic because of the accident.
Hess' lawsuit in 14th Circuit Court says she was served at Jock's Sports Grill, but the bartender failed to check her ID or to determine if she was already drunk.

Don't even remind me.
How does she know?
That sounds like a great idea. Like many that will never happen.
Wow, that almost hurt to read.

In my opinion, the bartender broke the law by serving alcohol to a minor and is guilty of something. Not full responsibility, since she is a licensed driver and responsible for what she does with her car, but he contributed to her accident through criminal negligence. I’m a law and order conservative and don’t believe people should get away with breaking laws, particular ones that cause actual harm to people.
Lets see. Based on her “logic” if she hit me in my vehicle as I was coming home with my family from a night out bowling/minigolfing, and she killed my wife and my two kids. Would she tell me to sue the bar that failed to check her I.D. and the bartender? Personally, she is very lucky to be alive, and that she didn’t kill anyone.
It's always fun watching the mean ones get a dose of reality when their looks begin to fade or when they do something outrageous that can't be “fixed by someone”
I doubt she deserved it, but this one got a pretty serious dose of reality.
