If a bar then they need to be held responsible.The drunk driver was unconscious when the police found him. He had a 7-Up bottle full of alcohol in his car. He has apparently admitted that he had been drinking. I didn't see anything on where he was coming from.
Reading the lawyer's statement I have a feeling they want to cash in an insurance policy for a career ending injury. His career was already basically over but it sounds like from the statement they want to claim he was 100% healthy and perfect so that they can then say he has had a career ending injury thus satisfying the very strict legal requirements to cash in that type of policy. I would predict he will never suit up again. My hope is that he doesn't have any long term health issues. The brain trauma sounds terrible and scary.
Unless the drunk driver was rich, or had very substantial insurance, or there is some third party who could also be held responsible, it is hard to see how a lawsuit will result in a substantial payday, especially by Parsons' financial standards. But a responsible PI attorney would file suit in any case, to best protect Chandler's rights in case there is a deep pocket available.
It is also possible that the drunk driver will go to prison, which would at least get the guy off the streets for a while.
Agree that it seems possible that Parsons will never suit up again, and join you in the hope that he recovers completely and especially that the brain injury does not have lasting effects.
