Description
Complaint by Norma Behnke, for herself and as executrix of the estate of Clarence W. Behnke, deceased, against Fred W. Pierson,
Sr., and Fred W. Pierson, Jr., partners doing business as M & T Manufacturing Company, for the death of Clarence Behnke
which resulted when his automobile was struck in the rear by another driver who had been furnished alcoholic beverages by
defendants. Summary judgment for defendants. Plaintiff appeals. Plaintiff's deceased husband's automobile was struck from the rear by Edward Blair, an employee of defendant company. Death
of plaintiff's husband resulted from the accident. Blair had participated in a company holiday party in the afternoon preceding
the accident; alcoholic beverages were provided by the company and Blair admittedly consumed bottles of beer. The complaint
alleges that defendant company furnished intoxicating liquor, caused the intoxication of Blair, furnished intoxicating liquor
to Blair after he was intoxicated and when defendants knew or should have known that they were endangering lives, and knew
or should have known that Blair would drive his automobile. This appeal is from a summary judgment of no cause of action as
to defendants-appellees.
