I have a friend who was injured in car accident, involving a drunk driver. The drunk driver is an employee from a big company in which the company was holding an annual party in a famous hotel.
There were a lot alcohol in the celebration. The person who hit my friend in car accident was completely drunk and was very negligence about driving impaired on the roads. I think also that the hotel and the company should be liable, but I don't know about that. NOW one of my worries would be that if the defendant don't have any money for the damages then there is nothing that we can do.
What type of lawsuit should be used? What type of remedies should my friend be seeking, and are these remedies appropriate to this type of case? What legal sources will the court consider in deciding if company and hotel (or either of them) are liable for my friends injuries?

The hotel isn't liable.
Mr Warrior
Some countries have a responisble serving of alchohol laws.
Meaning the hotel might be liable for man being so intoxicating and continuing to serve him at the car, while he was noticibly intoxicated. Where they probably should have cut him off at the bar instead.
For that reason. The hotel could be liable.
To prove that though, you need alot of witnesses, from other people at the event who could testify as to his intoxication and continued service. To CCTV footage from the hotel, of him going to the bar etc.
Also CCTV footage of him leaving the hotel, his car being in view of the front entrance and security seeing him enter his car to drive.
Are all things that need to be followed up.
As i said, it depends on the laws in your country and responisble service of alcohol regulations.
