Baatz v. Arrow Bar
Citation:
452 N.W.2d 138 (1990)Facts
Kenny and Peggy were seriously injured in 1982 when Roland McBride crossed the center line of a Sioux Falls with his automobile and struck them. McBride was uninsured. Baatz alleges that Arrow Bar served alcoholic beverages to McBride prior to the accident while he was already intoxicated. Baatz commenced this action in 1984, claiming that Arrow Bar’s negligence in serving alcoholic beverages in McBride contributed to the injuries they sustained in the accident. Jimmy Larson says he knew McBride and observed him being served alcoholic beverages in the Arros Bar prior to the accident, while McBride was intoxicated. Edmond and LaVella Neuroth formed the Arrow Bar, Inc. The corporation purchased the Arrow Bar business in June 1980 for $155,000. Edmond and LaVella executed a promissory note personally guaranteeing payment of the $150,000 balance. Edmond is the president of the corporation, and Jacquette Neuroth serves as the manager. The trial court entered summary judgment in favor of Arrow Bar and the individual defendants.
