Dram Shop / Liquor Liability Cases

When someone serves alcohol to a guest -- at a bar, a restaurant, or even at a casual dinner or Superbowl party at home -- the server might be held liable for an alcohol-related accident. The injured person who can bring such a claim might be another guest, a passenger in the drinker's car, someone else involved in a collision, or even the drinker himself.

Intoxication frequently causes or contributes to accidents and injuries that harm friends or strangers alike; and sometimes it is the intoxicated person himself who is a victim of excessive drinking.

Generally speaking, someone who serves alcohol to a guest has a duty reasonably to avoid serving too much. How much is too much is a matter of judgment; which a jury might some day be called on to determine.

If you or a family member have been injured in an alcohol-related incident, you should talk to a lawyer as soon as you can. An attorney can help determine whether a case can be brought, and can also help gather and preserve the evidence that might be important in proving the case.
