Emily Rardin v. Roadhouse Management. Zack Turpin successfully obtained summary judgment for his client, a local restaurant, regarding a Plaintiff’s dram-shop claims. The Plaintiff filed a Complaint following a hit-and-run automobile accident and alleged the individual responsible for causing the accident had been overserved prior to the accident at a local restaurant. As evidence for Plaintiff’s allegation, she cited a witness who allegedly saw the individual in the restaurant’s parking lot minutes before the accident. The Court ultimately dismissed the claims against the restaurant and reasoned that while the individual was captured on security footage in the restaurant’s parking lot prior to the accident, there was no evidence the individual entered the restaurant at any time prior to the accident.
