Tort reform (loser pays) is overdue. With the possibility this bimbo would have to pay her lawyer and the defendents lawyer, she’d never bring this stupid case.
The fact a court would hear it is equally as stupid.
On the flip side, if she wasn’t served I bet she’d sue for that.
Hmm, only in the 21st century can you blame everyone but yourself. Who ever thought it was possible to go both forward and back as the years go on?
That site is ridiculous. Won’t let you even read the headlines without registering?! lol.

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.
She’s also suing the state Department of Transportation, saying the agency failed to properly maintain the shoulder of the road where her car crashed.
Both the company that owns the bar and the DOT denied Hess’ claims in court papers.
Lawyers for both say Hess is responsible for her accident.
This is where ‘loser pays’ would be useful. The bartender is going to bankrupt himself hiring a lawyer, no doubt.
Maybe she could sue herself for “wrongful existence”.
She is probably a democrat and has no problem with not asking for voter id.
Yet the rest of the country is paralyzed as a result of the last car accident voted in.
Hasn’t she heard? Id’s are ‘out’.
sue her for wasting our tax dollars
sue her for wasting our tax dollars
Bartender can simply say that as an adult she knowingly violated the law and placed his establishment in legal jeapordy and he is suing her.
If she was so wasted she crashed, how can she know for sure he didn’t ask and she didn’t have a fake id.
The question that this asks is where is the responsibility lye. The answer is obvious with her, thus the suit should be mute. I am not for the law / legal drinking age, but considering it does exist then if anyone can sue it would be the state. The suit/penelity would not be for the individual (her) but rather the failure to abide by the law which at most should result in a fine. The medical penalty lays in the hands of the responsible party (her).

Depending on the dram shop laws in her state, she might have a case.
Let me guess. Cute little blonde who has never been told “No” in her life.
It’s crazy, but my bet is she wins.
Apparently the rock between her ears was the part that was the victim of paralysis.
Who's her attorney, John Edwards II?
Why doesn’t she sue the cops for not arresting her.
How does she intend to prove the bartender DIDN’T check her ID? If she admits to being drunk at the time, how does she know he didn’t?
The bartender simply needs to say he did card her, and she must have shown a fake ID. (shrug)
People can’t keep bending over for scumbag lawyers and their scumbag clients.
How does she know?
