OLYMPIA — The state Supreme Court has unanimously reinstated a $14 million award against a lodge and bartender who served alcohol to a man later killed in a car crash that injured another driver and her passengers.
Hawkeye Kinkaid, who had been drinking at the Bellingham Moose Lodge, died shortly after the April 2000 crash. His girlfriend, Alexis Chapman, was a bartender at the lodge and was serving him the night of the accident.
After Kinkaid left the lodge, he drove his car across the center line of a road in Ferndale, striking the car of Bianca Faust.
Faust sued the lodge and Chapman and won, but the award was later overturned by the state Court of Appeals.
