She was so bombed she blew up a house. A Canadian woman who caused a $10 million house explosion while driving drunk is now suing the bar that provided her alcoholic beverages " as she claims the owners are to blame. The "car bomb" fiasco occurred in August 2019 while Daniella Leis, 26, was driving home from a Marilyn Manson concert after having drinks at the Budweiser Gardens bar in London, Ontario, the CBC reported. Leis crashed her Ford Fusion " registered to her father " into a brick home at 450 Woodman Avenue, rupturing a gas line and triggering massive explosion that destroyed four houses and injured seven people. "The financial impact of Ms. Leis' actions have been enormous, with a total damage estimate approaching $15 million," judge George Orsini told the court at the time.

From the cited article...

...In addition, Leis also alleged that the Ovations had served her alcohol while aware that the bar-goer was intoxicated, ...

Did she ask for those drinks to be served to her?

Or did the bar force the drinks upon her without her asking for them? Intravenously, maybe?

Usually, dram laws (if applicable) require the plaintiff to prove they knew she was wasted and served her anyway.

That burden is on the plaintiff, I believe.

Even in Canada, I think. It's why you buy liquor liability from a competent insurance profesional.

I agree with her. 100%

Furthermore, bars having parking lots normalizes and even encourages drunk driving. I don't understand why police bother with speeding tickets, failure to use turn signal, et al. They could just pull over every car leaving the bar and get enough revenue to fund their endeavors forever and then some extra for the general funds.

Every bar with a parking lot for patrons has it's hands steeped in the blood of the innocents murdered by drunk drivers.
