Q: My under age son was allowed to drink alcohol (no charge) at his place of employment (has a liquor license) several
weeks ago after completing his shift. He drove home and had an accident involving two parked vehicles. He left the scene thinking he hit a tree or a curb. He subsequently was ticketed for DUI and leaving the scene which, he has an attorney for. Do you I have a case against his former Missouri employer?
A: You "have a case" if you are willing to pay an attorney thousands of dollars to file and litigate the suit for your son or if you can convince an attorney to invest his or her time in the matter on a contingency basis. Contact a couple of attorneys and see if you find a taker under the second option. You haven't articulated what damages, if any, that your son suffered. I hope he was not injured and does not drink and drive in the future, because he could kill someone or himself.
