Explain what the plaintiff would need to prove in order to win the case

Jerry, Carol, and Tamika are 17-year-old students who attended a high school graduation party hosted by Calvin Smith’s parents. The Smiths allowed Jerry, Carol, Tamika, and the other high school students at the party to drink beer and wine.

When Jerry was driving Carol and Tamika home, he ran a stoplight, and his car collided with a car driven by Mr. Carver. The entire Carver family was injured in the crash, and the youngest child was very seriously injured. The Carvers sued Jerry, his parents, and Mr. and Mrs. Smith. The Carvers want all of their medical and rehabilitation bills paid for and seek additional damages for Jerry’s reckless drunk driving.
