Commentary
Given the time of night that this accident happened at, I wouldn’t be surprised at all to learn that alcohol was involved. The thing is, lawmakers in Ohio have passed laws that say that bars aren’t allowed to over-serve customers who are noticeably intoxicated. When they do — and they do — they can be held liable for any accident that person goes out and gets into. Of course, bars aren’t always involved in accidents like this. But whenever I hear that alcohol is suspected, I would want to find out for sure. Unfortunately, too many bars out there feel that their responsibility to their customers doesn’t go past the front door. When they serve people irresponsibly, they need to be held accountable for it.
