Civil Plaintiff
A South Carolina Bar Is Named in a $1.25 Million Wrongful Death Settlement
A Folly Beach bar is in the middle of million-dollar settlement with a widow after an alleged drunk driver the pub served hit her husband.
He died from those injuries just weeks after the crash.
According to a Petition for Settlement Approval filed in Charleston County Courts on May 26, 2022, Surf Bar Folly Beach served that driver, and now both could pay some hefty fines.
Court documents show Alice Smith and her husband James were walking along East Ashley Avenue on Folly Beach on July 2, 2021. The driver, Hannah Flanagan, was charged the next day with reckless driving and hit and run. James Smith died from his injuries sustained in that accident on July 20,2021.
