PARRIS obtuvo un acuerdo de 4 millones de dólares por muerte injusta en nombre de la familia de un joven de 21 años que fue asesinado por un conductor ebrio en un accidente automovilístico ocurrido a primera hora de la mañana.

El conductor ebrio había estacionado en un aparcamiento disuasorio más temprano esa noche y había tomado un autobús de fiesta desde allí hasta una discoteca. Mientras estaba en la discoteca se embriagó, tomó de nuevo el autobús de fiesta de regreso al aparcamiento disuasorio, se subió a su coche y se marchó conduciendo.

Evidence shows that the drunk driver was driving approximately 90 miles per hour or more when he exited the park and ride lot and crashed into the victim a couple of blocks later. This crash led to a massive car fire. The victim was burned to death.

The victim—a 21-year-old man—was driving home from his nighttime security job when he was killed—only 1 1/2 miles from his home where he lived with his parents. The drunk driver was convicted of second degree murder and held civilly accountable for the harms that he caused to the wrongful death victim and his family.

Other notable PARRIS case results that involved a drunk driver include a $21 million verdict on behalf of three family members hit buy a drunk driver, and a $6.5 million settlement on behalf of a woman hit by a drunk driver.
