Michigan Justice Chronicles Podcast – Intersection of Criminal and Civil Liability

ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Nov. 11, 2024 - PRLog -- Geherin Law Group, PLLC, a leading criminal justice law firm based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, released its fourth episode of its new podcast, "Michigan Justice Chronicles."

The tragic accident at Monroe Boat Club this past spring serves as a case study on the intersection of criminal and civil liability. A woman, who allegedly consumed alcohol before crashing into a birthday party, is facing criminal charges including OWI causing death and second-degree murder. However, the legal implications don't stop at criminal prosecution.

In addition, the victims' families are likely to pursue civil actions. Wrongful death lawsuits could target not only the driver but also the boat club under Michigan's dram shop liability law, which holds bars accountable for over-serving intoxicated patrons. There may also be claims against the event space for failing to ensure proper safety measures.

This case reveals how civil and criminal justice systems operate in tandem. A criminal conviction often strengthens civil claims, offering a clear pathway to holding the responsible parties accountable. This intersection of justice will be closely watched as it unfolds, offering critical lessons for both law practitioners and the public.
