Drunk Driver Accidents and Bar Liability When a Driver Is Served Alcohol Illegally
Though a drunk driver bears responsibility for his/her actions behind the wheel, there are some cases in which the driver was served alcohol illegally by a bar or other establishment; this illegal service may involve an intoxicated or impaired individual or underage person being served when he/she should not be. When this happens, the establishment may be held responsible for contributing to the accident.
Known as dram shop liability, this responsibility includes bars, restaurants, liquor stores, social clubs, stadium concession stands and even private events where alcohol is sold. Our attorneys are highly knowledgeable about the complexities of dram shop liability cases — and experienced with drunk driving cases in general — we can help you figure out the best way to pursue your case.
Talk to an Experienced Attorney Before Signing Anything
You may be entitled to significant damages if you have been injured by a drunk driver. Since it may take months before you realize the extent and depth of your injuries, it is important to speak to an attorney before you sign any papers with an insurance representative. Insurers want to settle cases quickly and cheaply; by nature and definition, they generally are not concerned about your well-being.
An experienced lawyer can help safeguard your rights and your future stability. This is particularly important in situations that involve brain injury, spinal cord injury or other bodily damage where injuries may prove to be more serious than initially thought.
