Divided COA reinstates lawsuit of drunk man who fled, was hit by cars

0

Dave Stafford for www.theindianalawyer.com

A bar will have to face a negligence lawsuit brought by a man who was served at least one drink before he fled from a police stop in handcuffs and was hit by two cars as he tried to cross a state highway.

The divided Court of Appeals opinion in Pamela Marlow v. Better Bars, Inc., 32A01-1504-CT-144, reinstated a negligence suit brought by the guardian of Kenneth Marlow. He spent more than three months recovering in the hospital from a broken leg, broken arm, broken ribs, a fractured skull and brain trauma after he was struck by motorists on State Road 67 in Hendricks County.

A police officer was dispatched to a White Castle restaurant where Marlow allegedly was creating a disturbance in the drive-through lane. The officer cuffed Marlow and moved his car from the line when Marlow attempted to flee across the four-lane divided highway.

Before this, Marlow had been drinking with co-workers at Bubbaz Bar & Grill in Camby. The record indicates Marlow stayed after the co-workers left, and he claims liability under the Dram Shop Act. A trial court granted summary judgment in favor of Better Bars Inc., the corporate parent of Bubbaz.

“Summary judgment was improper,” wrote Judge Patricia Riley in a majority opinion joined by Judge Robert Altice. “(W)e find the fact the Bar ‘served even one (drink) to a person who shortly thereafter was in a serious state of intoxication gives rise to a question of fact whether (Marlow) was visibly intoxicated at the time,’” Riley wrote, applying the language of Ward v. D & A Enterprises of Clark Cnty., Inc., 714 N.E.2d 728, 729 (Ind. Ct. App. 1999).

The majority also found a reasonable trier of fact could reasonably determine that Marlow’s intoxication impaired his judgment to the extent he fled from the police stop.

Dissenting Judge Elaine Brown agreed there may be an issue as to whether the bar had actual knowledge of Marlow’s intoxication, and summary judgment was proper because this was not the proximate cause of Marlow’s actions that resulted in his injuries.

“The intervening act of Marlow resisting law enforcement by running from the police and into the middle of a four-lane highway at night leads to the single conclusion that the Bar was not the proximate cause of Marlow’s injuries,” Brown wrote.

The Indiana State Police are committed to traffic safety and will continue to conduct saturation patrols and sobriety checkpoints to apprehend impaired drivers and to deter others from drinking and driving.

Mockevicius named MVC Player of the Week

0

For the second time in three weeks of action this season, University of Evansville senior Egidijus Mockevicius has been named the Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Week.

 

It was another stellar weekend of action for Mockevicius as he set a Wooden Legacy rebound record with 46 in the 3-game tournament and 21 in the game against Santa Clara.  He averaged a double-double for the week with 14 points and 15.3 rebounds while hitting 54.8% of his attempts.

 

Mockevicius began the week with 13 points and 9 rebounds versus Providence.  He also blocked four shots against a larger Big East team. On Friday, Mockevicius hauled in a career-high 21 rebounds while scoring 8 points.  His 21 caroms was the single-game Wooden Legacy record and was the most for an Evansville player in over 30 years.  The center continued his efforts in the tournament with a 21-point, 16-rebound effort against UC Irvine.

 

He blocked a pair of shots in each of the final two games.  Mockevicius was named to the All-Tournament Team for his efforts.  He was the only player on the squad that did not play in the championship game.
