Wrongful Death Suit Filed Against Bar in Paso Robles

Bryan Brady was celebrating his 21st birthday the night before when his body was found on the train tracks in early morning of July 31, 2010. The emergency brakes of the 78-car tanker train deployed after hitting his body. Train conductors found him with his left leg and arm severed, while his head was crushed, forcing parts of his brain to spill out.

Police reports were unclear how Brady ended up on the tracks. A suicide theory was contemplated by the police, but it was soon ditched. His alcohol level was twice the legal limit and some witnesses saw him engaged in a brawl hours before. Contradictory accounts saw Brady being dragged by suspected gang members towards the direction of the tracks, others said he walked by himself. What happened hours before his death remains a mystery, but the parents of Bryan Brady believe someone is responsible for their son's death.

Catherine and Don Brady filed a wrongful death suit against Pappy Mcgregor's Pub & Grill, formerly known as The Crooked Kilt based on their alleged negligence hours before Bryan's death. In their personal injury lawsuit, the couple accused the employees of the local bar of failing to call 911 after seeing that Bryan needed medical attention. Under state law, a special relationship exists between business establishments and patrons. Proprietors have a “duty of reasonable care” to help their customers in need of medical aid. The Bradys believe that the Pappy Mcgregor's Pub & Grill failed in this duty as they continue to serve Bryan alcohol even if he was clearly intoxicated, which is against the bar's own policy, and they did not seek medical attention for Bryan when he was struck in the head by another patron knocking him out unconscious in front of their establishment.
