Personal injury lawyer was my first thought when I read your original post. You have to show damages to sue someone.


What kind of damages? Concrete damages like an accident caused by it, or something like addiction and unraveling of a previous upstanding academic life would suffice?


What if it not so much about getting monetary compensation but more about bringing responsibility to the company? About damaging their public relations and, hopefully, bring them loss revenue or, at the very least, public reputation?

it is NOT alcohol- it was just a pretend as similar as the issue at hand that I felt comfortable sharing.

The closest I can get without getting into specifics is: let’s pretend an independent vendor, while at a fair/convention or such, sold alcohol to a minor.

The fair knew the vendor was up to these type of antics and had tried to curb it in the past, but the vendor kept changing its business name and selling to all, included minors.

Like a whack a mole game.


Also, let’s pretend there is a law in place that says the fair/organizer is NOT liable/responsible for what their members advocate, say, or do while using the fair grounds.

THAT said, there is no law in place that absolves the fair/organization or CRIMINAL conduct by its users that take place and can actually ONLY take place through the fair’s/organization’s means.

And while at it, can you recommend good lawyers for this type of thing in NoVa?

TIA!
