What Are Dram Shop Laws?
Dram shop laws impose legal liability on bars, restaurants, and other facilities that serve or sell alcoholic beverages irresponsibly. When alcohol is sold or served to a person who should not have it, this can significantly increase the chances that a drunk driving accident will occur. The general purpose of dram shop laws is to allow victims to hold irresponsible bars, restaurants and stores accountable for their part in causing serious injuries or deaths in drunk driving crashes.
Dram shop laws vary by state. Generally, however, they impose liability if a bar, store, or restaurant served or sold alcohol to people who are intoxicated, who are habitual drunks, or who are underage. Victims will need to prove the facility is responsible under the local dram shop laws and will need to demonstrate the extent of harm in order to be able to successfully Pursue A Claim To Obtain Compensation From The Bar, Restaurant, Or Store.
How Can Dram Shop Laws Help You Obtain Compensation?
Bars are in an excellent position to easily prevent drunk driving. Responsible service of alcohol is proven to save lives. When you are injured or someone you love is killed by an intoxicated person, that drunk individual may not have enough insurance or enough money available to pay for the full extent of losses. Restaurants, bars, and stores who should have served responsibly usually have more financial responsibility in the form of insurance coverage and other available money.
As a result, if you can make a claim under dram shop laws, it is more likely there will be enough money available to compensate you fully for medical bills, loss of income, pain and discomfort, and all other damages resulting from the accident the intoxicated person caused.
