Having read the court transcripts, once again, IJ is leaving important details. The people who hired the limo (not cab) met at a sports bar and had 3-4 drinks each. The limo driver showed up and loaded everyone in to the van. From there, they stopped at a liquor store and purchased a 30 pack. The drunk driver had 3 beers and 2 mixed drinks at the sports bar, then 3-4 beers on the way to the strip club. While at club, the limo driver went inside as well. They were at the strip club for a few hours and the drunk driver had 3-4 more drinks and 2 shots. They all loaded in to the limo at 1 AM and drove back to the Boston bar. According to court records, the driver also had 2-3 more beers on the drive back. When they arrived at the bar it was after 2 AM and the bar was closed.

I still think it's ridiculous to sue everyone involved - the person who caused the accident should be the one to take responsibilty, after all, he is an adult and made several consciouss decisions through out the night. After seeing all the facts, there may be some contributory negligence on the part of the limo driver, since he witnessed mass amounts of drinking.
