Parents Sue Hotel Over Death Teen Worker Who Drove Drunk
An AP news story from the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, mentions a tragic case involving a 17 year old driving drunk after working a 16 hour shift at a hotel. He worked as a dishwasher and waiter at the hotel.
The parents of a teen killed in a car crash after working an extended shift sued the Pennsylvania hotel where he worked. The lawsuit alleges the owners of the Ramada Inn of Historic Ligonier were negligent when they allowed 17-year-old Sean Nemcheck to work 16 hours, have access to alcohol while working and then drive home drunk.
My question for the hotelier is "What were you thinking, by allowing this underage minor to drink at your hotel? Further, have you not heard of child labor laws?
This is outrageous. I hope that this company is held up as an example in their punishment for their actions.
