What is the name of your state? New york .. I am a representative payee for a 41 year old man that is mildly retarded with an IQ of 59. The super of his apartment building had a new years eve party. The super was the bartender for the evening. I left the party and told the super not to give my payee a drink because he has the mind of a child and alcohol has a bad effect on him. He assured me there would be no problem. To make a long story short, the super ended up serving him several shots of Absolute vodka. He served him half of a quart bottle. My payee was so drunk that he wasn't even able to stand or walk. I went looking for him around 4:30 in the morning and found him passed out of the fourth floor of the building. When I found him the entire left side of his face was bruised and swollen. I called the police and when they came, they called an ambulance due to his injuries. Is the super responsible for my payee's injuries or any pain and suffering he incurred?
