OH my goodness! I don't have any answers for you, but I want you to know I will be praying. Is there anyway you can sue the insurance company? or did the drunk have any insurance?
I lost my 18 old niece to a drunk driver. She had her life taken because of some drunk! I am a M. A. D. D I think they should not allow drinking anymore. If people are going to drink they should stay home and do that if someone wants to destroy their own life, but why others? It should be against the law to have bars.
It is just so wrong and I wish people would speak up about drinking in public and driving. Make them walk for the rest of their life. They should never be allowed to drive if they are going to get behind the wheel after drinking.
OR Mark it on their drivers license and make it the law not to serve anyone who has been caught drinking and driving. Show your ID before buying any liquor.
Sorry :( I get so angry when I hear stuff like this. May God Bless You and heal your son. I really would like to know how your son is doing. Please email me anytime.

You can sue the driver of the striking vehicle, and you may also recover from the liability coverage on the car in which your son was riding. There was negligence involved in both driving drunk, and in running out of gas.
The club did not tell him to drive, they told him to leave. They should have no liability in this case, but some money hungry folks will try to make them pay anyway!
Good Luck

Tragic accident. The driver/owner of the car is responsible for the medical bills for your son. The police report should include the name of the driver/owner's insurance company. Get a copy of the police report and then contact the insurance company and find out how to have the medical bills and any other therapy bills paid.

hopefully you attended the hearing for the DUI case on Graves. In which you should have requested restitution. Also apply for the county restitution fund which is in addition to whatever the court gants the idiot pay out damages caused by his recklessness. Then you can file a civil suit and sue that hell out of that idiot and garnish his wages. Then, try and file for medi-cal in your state, It is possible to collect disability on his behalf if his injuries are lifelong.
I am really sorry for your difficulties. Best Wishes to your son.
From a former idiot.

contact a personal injury lawyer ASAP! Time may be running out...if you wait too long, the statutes of limitations law takes effect and you won't be able to do squat! That varies from state to state, so call one first thing in the morning!

You need to get a court appointed lawyer. Has the case gone to trial and have damages been awarded? Should you be talking about the case at all?
