Case Details

A North Tonawanda woman was left partially paralyzed following an alcohol-related car accident. She suffered paralysis of her right side after the car skidded on icy pavement and hit a utility pole.

Additional Notes

Jury verdict based on a state law holding responsible a person who supplies alcohol to another. The underage driver was furnished beer by an 18-year-old. The car owner was implicated due to implied consent. The initial award of $2,086,000 was reduced because the victim was not wearing a seat belt.
