Dang drunk driver

[got3fords]

I've been there too.
One of the guys I had to take home, one of my best techs, eventually lost his job over showing up drunk. About a year later he died, alcohol related.
I went back and forth with myself over could I have done more to help prevent it. Today, looking back, no. I tried. It's on him. But it's still tragic and sad.

Similar story here. One of our best, long time employee started showing weird ticks. I never smelled it on him but others said they did. He started using tons of paper towels for some reason, turns out he was wrapping the empties and shoving them deep in the trash cans. Then one day he busted his ass somehow and he was fired on the spot. Pretty sure they got him a ride. He never used to be a drinker, guess things change.

First, the police would have to be very incompetent to not have her arrested for DUI from what you said. Second, any competent attorney should have no difficulty with finding fault with the Vet clinic without getting anyone in trouble. In any case, anything told you by a third party, has nothing to do with the issue. The police report, and that she was wearing her work uniform at the accident are enough to start an investigation for damages.

It's possible that the Vet clinic sent her home sick and whoever made that decision did not know she was under the influence, at this point that is what the courts would consider hearsay. Hopefully she was tested for blood alcohol levels at the scene or at the hospital, if not this further hurts any litigation attempts.

They were getting warrant signed at the scene for a blood draw because she refused all tests. She got very loud and argumentative as time went on

Always a smart move when you’ve been busted drinking and driving.
