The parents of the passenger who was also killed in Ryan Dunn's fatal 2011 high speed car crash are suing the "Jackass" star's estate ... claiming Dunn was extremely drunk when he wrecked his Porsche and is responsible for killing their son.
TMZ broke the story ... Dunn had been drinking HEAVILY before he crashed his Porsche into a tree at 132 mph in Pennsylvania in June 2011 ... killing himself and his passenger Zachary Hartwell.
Now, Hartwell's parents have filed a lawsuit against Dunn's estate AND the bar where Dunn had been drinking before the crash ... claiming Barnaby's West Chester was negligent in serving Dunn after he was obviously hammered.
The Hartwells also claim Dunn was reckless and negligent by operating his vehicle while under the influence of alcohol ... and should not have been driving at extremely dangerous speeds.
Zach's parents are suing for unspecified damages ... claiming they've lost the services, guidance, and comfort of their son. And they want Dunn's estate to cover expenses associated with Zach's death ... including funeral costs.
Zach's parents are also suing on behalf of their son's estate ... claiming Dunn and the bar should pay for the "pre-impact fright, fear, pain and suffering" that Zach experienced before he died.
Zach's parents also want both parties to pay for the wages Zach would have earned during his lifetime.

funeral expenses and prolly pain and suffering or whatever from ryan dunn's estate
idk about the bar tho, not sure how that work
Because that's what happens when you sell something that impair's another person's judgement? Because that's the law?
If that is what the law says then fair enough, I'm just trying to understand it.
Do you not watch the news? Of course.
Does that clear things up?
But the consensus here seems to be that bars are responsible for making sure people don't drive after drinking. Which is different, imo.
Even when I worked at a liquor store, if I thought someone was trashed, I didn't have to serve them.
At least on the East Coast.
