She is just as negligent in CONSUMING the beer and vodka provided to her. Unless they strapped her down and FORCED her to drink beer and vodka, I can’t see how they are any more negligent than she is.
“But the Moscow Police Department says its investigation found Huft didn’t fall out a window but from an upper bunk bed to the floor, breaking her pelvis.”
Okay, so she gets drunk at a party and falls from a bunk bed, and then claims she fell from a balcony and sues the fraternity because they supplied the alcohol that she drank?
How does this make it past the courtroom doors?
I guess there is really no personal responsibility for oneself anymore. I think I will sue Burger King because it served me fattening food and made me overweight–I mean how dare they. They knew it was going to make me gain weight and they sold it to me anyway. How ridiculous this is.
This is the second lawsuit in about five years concerning an imbibing female student allegedly falling out of a fraternity window at the University of Idaho. The last house was Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Perhaps the greeks should outfit their houses with drinking nets.
I’m not sure how the laws are there, but in the state of MO, you lose the ability to sue if you are a minor under the influence of alcohol. The law is 21. How can someone sue while they were breaking the law? Doesn’t the law of “unclean hands” apply here?
You would think it would apply. Unfortunately our legal system works to enrichen lawyers. After all, most judges are lawyers.
I read about a case where a guy broke into someone’s home while they were away on vacastion. He somehow got himself locked in their garage for a few days, until they got home. At that point he was dehydrated and had to be hospitalized. He sued for his suffering and won. A judge actually ruled in his favor.
Maybe she can also sue the manufacturer of the alcohol and the manufacturer of the bunk bed. What a joke.

She went to a fraternity party and is upset because they served her alcohol. Why’d she go to the party?
