What are some cases where a plaintiff has been found to be intoxicated at the time of an accident?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Holton v. MacKinnon et al, 2005 BCSC 41 (CanLII):

One other case which I wish to refer to at this point is Sambell v. Hudago Enterprises Ltd., [1990] O.J. No. 2494, a decision of Gautreau, J. of the Ontario Court of Justice - General Division. In that case, the plaintiff was a passenger in the defendant’s vehicle and suffered serious injuries in an accident. Both parties were drunk at the time of the accident and in fact were intoxicated when they arrived at the defendant hotel.
