Minnesota Supreme Court Ruling on Liquor Boat Case
The Minnesota Supreme Court, in a decision by Associate Justice Frank Gallagher, ruled that an injured party may claim free medical services as part of damages and that the tavern owners liability law does not apply when a group of young men pool funds to buy and drink their own liquor. The court reversed one ruling and upheld another regarding damages to Mavis Seek Dahlin in the Aug 21, 1948 incident involving John Kron, John Hutchinson, and Harold Wind, noting Kron's intoxication was not established and Hutchinson did not supply the liquor. Dahlin faced 39 days in Minneapolis General Hospital following injuries from a crash.
