PUTNAM COUNTY, IN — A single-vehicle rollover accident sent one driver to the hospital in Putnam County, Indiana on Sunday, May 4th, 2014, according to a report from The Banner Graphic.

Scene of the Accident
Paramedics transported Lauren Glass to Putnam County Hospital where an update on her condition was immediately unavailable by hospital staff.

The investigation is currently ongoing.
Commentary:
You may not think it is fair for a bar to be held liable for injuries that their customers suffer after drinking too much at their establishment, but did you know that servers and bartenders are legally obligated to cut off and refuse service to drunk individuals? Just like if an anesthesiologist would be held liable for an accident if allowed a patient to leave their care and drive while under the influence, a bar operates no differently. In the State of Texas, if this driver had come from a bar where they were over-served, the bar could be liable for the accident if it turns out they failed in their duty to serve safely and responsibly.
