A state court of appeals considered two cases<\/a> in which underage people were consuming alcohol on an adult\u2019s house and then drove, getting into an accident. The adults knew that the underage people\u00a0were drinking alcohol but\u00a0allowed the minors to do so. In one case, one of the underage drinkers caused the death of another person after driving drunk, and in the other case, the underage drinker caused another individual serious injuries. The plaintiffs claimed\u00a0that the adults were negligent in allowing the minors to drink on their watch. The\u00a0state\u2019s supreme court held that adults who allow underage drinking can be held liable to those who are injured as a result, including the underage drinkers. In addition, the court held that in these two cases, the adults owed a duty to these victims.<\/p>\n

A 17-year-old drank during a party at an adult\u2019s house, and when he left early in the morning, still intoxicated, he was killed when riding in another intoxicated partygoer’s car. In that case, a woman\u2019s underage son had friends over. His mother was home and knew that underage people were drinking, but she did not tell them to limit or stop drinking. She also did not attempt to prevent any guests from driving.<\/p>\n

In the other case, an 18-year-old had been drinking with a 26-year-old and another friend at the 26-year-old\u2019s house. The man knew that the 18-year-old was only 18, that he had too much to drink, and that he would have to drive home. The 26-year-old offered him a place to sleep but told him he could leave if he was \u201csure that he was going to be able to drive.\u201d The 18-year-old left early\u00a0in the morning, and while driving, he hit a woman walking her dog on a sidewalk, causing her life-threatening injuries.<\/p>\n
