Dram Shop laws, on the books in 38 states, impose penalties on bars, clubs, restaurants, or hotels that improperly supply liquor. In an alcohol-related accident, such as a DUI or DWI, not just the driver, but also those who provided the alcohol may be considered negligent and liable for damages caused. In such cases, dram shops are expected to exercise due care and not serve anyone who is obviously drunk. When the host of a party fails to do this, they may be held accountable under dram shop laws by continuing to allow a guest to drink even after the guest is obviously intoxicated.
If you or someone you know has been injured by an individual that was intoxicated, contact the dram shop lawyers at Sakkas, Cahn & Weiss today.
