Losing Control Still Means Liability
Accidents happen. However, in a situation like this, where it may have just been an accident, the victims still have the right to pursue financial compensation for the losses they suffered. If one or more of the people within the establishment were standing in the area of that vehicle, they could have lost their lives. Holding drivers accountable for mistakes like this is critical.
In this case, the bar owner not only has significant damage to the building to repair but has also lost the ability to operate the building until the damage is repaired, ensuring it is safe for patrons.
