The Indiana Supreme Court threw out a $39 million jury verdict won by a couple who were injured in a crash caused by a driver who they claimed was drunk after attending the grand opening of an Outback Steakhouse. The couple alleged the motorist had become intoxicated at the restaurant's event, where free alcohol was said to have been served. The high court found that the plaintiffs' lawyers failed to notify Outback's attorneys before trial about a key witness, and held the omission warranted a new trial.
