Parents who serve alcohol to teens could face a lawsuit under state of New York law.  According to the law, if a person serves alcohol to a minor and they injure themselves or someone else, that person is civilly liable and can be sued for damages suffered.

Most state laws find parents criminally culpable for serving drinks to minors, as well as if an injury occurs.

Under the NY law, party hosts would have to pay for damages suffered by the teenagers involved as well any third parties.  This includes bodily injury, mental health, and destruction of property. This is covered under premise liability law which states that owners or tenants of real estate are responsible for injuries to individuals using that property.

A Taco Bell employee spit and urinated in food given to a customer in October of 2005. A lawsuit was filed in the Cheyenne County District Court against Mid Plains Food and Lodging who owned the KFC/Taco Bell. The family of Keith Andrew was awarded $40,000 Friday.

KFC does not support the verdict and states they are committed to food safety. The two little boys became extremely ill and were hospitalized after eating the food. Workers saw the employee contaminate the food and reported it to managers, but the managers failed to contact the family.
