Dram Shop
Holding Establishments Accountable
Dram shop accidents occur when an establishment, such as a bar or restaurant, serves alcohol to a visibly intoxicated person or a minor, resulting in injury or harm. These types of accidents can have serious consequences, not only for the person who was served alcohol but also for innocent victims who may be injured as a result of the intoxicated individual’s actions, such as in a car accident or physical altercation.
If you’ve been injured due to the negligent actions of a bar or restaurant, Dominguez Law Firm is here to help you pursue compensation for your injuries. Our experienced legal team is committed to holding alcohol-serving establishments accountable and ensuring you receive the compensation you deserve.
Common Causes of Dram Shop Accidents
-
Serving Alcohol to Intoxicated Individuals:
Bars and restaurants have a legal responsibility not to serve alcohol to visibly intoxicated patrons, as this can lead to dangerous situations. -
Serving Alcohol to Minors:
If a business serves alcohol to a person under the legal drinking age and that person causes harm, the establishment can be held responsible. -
Failure to Cut Off Service:
If a bartender or server continues to serve alcohol to someone who is already intoxicated and that person later causes harm, the business may be liable for the injuries caused. -
Over-Serving Alcohol:
Excessive alcohol consumption can impair judgment, reflexes, and coordination, leading to accidents and injuries.
