[net.legal] Will Stroh get escape with wallet intact ?

rjb@akgua.UUCP (R.J. Brown [Bob]) (02/08/85)

I heard the report this morning on the radio that the
parents of a 17 year old killed in a car wreck in the
Macon, Ga area are suing Stroh's for 30 Megabucks.

The basis for the suit is that the driver was juiced on
Schlitz Malt Liquor ( A Stroh owned brand) and that when
the wreck occurred the 17 year old passenger was killed.
The parents claim (probably among others) is that Stroh should
have placed a warning label on their product about the 
dangers of drinking and driving.

Question: Are these type of cases considered crank law suits
by lawyers (other than the ones involved) ?
