you have no idea what you're talking about. like it or not, if these parties were negligent and if their negligence contributed to his death, they're going to be held responsible. i don't know why that's so hard to understand and why everyone thinks it's so unfair. Exactly. Look, several different people may have acted negligently that night. Josh Hancock absolutely, positively did. And much more so than anyone else involved. Nobody's disputing that. The bar, bar manager, tow truck driver, and stalled vehicle owner may or may not have also acted negligently. That's TBD. But here's the key: the law does not prescribe that only the *most* negligent party can be held liable. The law prescribes that *all* negligent parties can be held liable. There is however discretion in the law whether people want to acknowledge it or not. And what freaking bar hasn't "over served" someone? If he was able to sue them for that every drunk who even gets in a fender bender could by that logic sue the bar they just drank at.
