Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant sued for wrongful death
Minneapolis / St. Paul Business Journal
The mother of a victim in a car accident has sued a Buffalo Wild Wings Grill and Bar in Texas for wrongful death and negligence.
Ercilia Norrid, whose 18-year-old daughter Adreanna was killed, claimed in the lawsuit that employees of the bar served Michael Nason too many drinks on the night of October 14. After leaving the bar, Nason was driving south in the northbound lane near Electra, Texas, in a pickup truck when he had a head-on collision with a car that contained Norrid and 16-year-old Courtney Mengwasser. His blood alcohol level was 0.27. The driver of the car, Alyssa Willeford, was critically injured and Nason, Mengwasser and Norrid were all killed.
The lawsuit, which names Wingsport, the company that manages the Buffalo Wild Wings in Wichita Falls, Texas, asks for $7 million and other damages.
Michael Burton, president of Wingsport, said in a statement, “We just want to say that our hearts and prayers go out to each family member and friend impacted by this tragedy. We cannot comment on the lawsuit other than to say we have cooperated fully with the TABCs investigation, and are confident the facts will show Buffalo Wild Wings should not have been named in the lawsuit.”
Buffalo Wild Wings (NASDAQ:BWLD) is a St. Louis Park-based restaurant chain with 439 restaurants in 37 states.
