Henry Cofrancesco III, who last week was indicted for vehicular homicide in the death of motorcyclist Robert Benedict, is now facing a lawsuit over the May 21 incident.
Lisa Benedict, his widow, is asking a total of $7 million in compensatory and punitive damages.
Also sued was Angela Bryant, listed as the owner of the car being driven by Cofrancesco.
The suit also names Mirage Images.
The suit, filed by attorneys Richard Schulman and Michael Anderson in Circuit Court, says Mr. Benedict was driving his 2006 American Iron Horse motorcycle south on Lee Highway in the left hand lane of traffic.
It says Cofrancesco drove a 2015 BMW 431 "negligently and recklessly" out of the parking lot of Mirage Images at 5900 Lee Highway.
The suit says he went over a curb and struck the Benedict motorcycle.
It says Cofrancesco and Ms. Bryant "were both obviously impaired and under the influence of alcohol and other drugs."
The suit says Ms. Bryant was guilty of gross negligence in allowing him to drive the vehicle while "obviously under the influence of alcohol and intoxicants as she was."
The complaint says the bar was liable for selling drinks to the couple knowing they were intoxicated.
It says bar employees "knew him as a customer previously and allowed him to be served alcoholic beverages when he was obviously intoxicated and impaired and allowed him to leave their establishment and drive a motor vehicle thereby causing the death" of Robert Benedict.
