IN THIS DRAM SHOP ACTION, JUDGMENT IN FAVOR OF THE PLAINTIFF WAS REVERSED BECAUSE THE TRIAL COURT ERRED REGARDING PROXIMATE CAUSE, IN PRECLUDING THE DEFENSE FROM EXPLORING THE DRIVER'S ALCOHOL TOLERANCE, AND IN GIVING A SPOLIATION CHARGE.
The New Jersey Supreme Court Appellate Division decided the case of Davis v. Barkaszi on February 9, 2012. The facts of the case are as follows. The defendant Justin B. Barkaszi
picked up the plaintiff Douglas D. Davis, after he had been drinking at Norman's Bar & Grill
Inc., d/b/a KC's Komer. Barkaszi's car slammed into a tree resulting in injuries to Davis.
Thereafter, Davis filed a dram shop action against the bartender, the bar's owner, and KC's
Komer, alleging that the bar negligently served alcohol to Barkaszi while he was visibly
intoxicated, in violation of NJ.S.A. 2A:22A-5, which resulted in the accident.
