Question:

Plaintiffs David Peshlakai and Darlene Thomas, husband and wife, were badly injured, and their daughters, Deshauna and Del Lynn Peshlakai, were killed, when their vehicle was crashed into by defendants James Ruiz and Gilbert Mendoza. Ruiz and Mendoza had very high blood alcohol levels at the time of the crash. According to the plaintiffs, Ruiz and Mendoza were continuously served alcohol by an Applebee's restaurant, regardless of their apparent drunkenness. The plaintiffs brought suit for wrongful death, personal injuries, and loss of consortium and other damages against Ruiz and Mendoza, as well as the franchisee responsible for the Applebee's Neighborhood Grill in Santa Fe, and Applebee's International, Inc. How do you think the court ruled? Why? Peshlakai v. Ruiz, 39 F. Supp. 3d 1264 (d.n.m. 2014).
