$5,000,000.00 Settlement for Death of Teenager Unlawfully Served Alcohol An 18-year-old attended a sporting event, where he was illegally served multiple beers by vendors who did not check his identification and who failed to follow the arena’s limits on the volume of alcohol that could be sold to a patron. As he drove home, the young man could not navigate a turn and was killed in a one-car crash. The team of Jerry McHugh, Steve Raynes, and Tina McLaughlin successfully refuted a defense that the young man was to blame for his own death and established that the responsibility rested with the vendor. A videotape settlement brochure – assembled by Marty Brigham – allowed the family to express their painful loss without the need for their formal testimony. The Raynes McCarty team secured for the family a $5 million dollar pre-trial settlement from the vendors’ parent company.
