A:
Others injured or killed have the best claims. Your son willingly participated.

A: Contact a member of the NC Assn for Justice in the county where the wreck happened. Yes the bar is liable and should have carded him. But if a friend let him in some of it's on your son. Regardless they shouldn't have served him to point of intox. But it's a weak case.
