| LIQUOR LIABILITY  There is a responsibility associated with being able to legally consume alcohol, and there is an even bigger responsibility for establishments serving the alcohol. In most states the stores, restaurants, and other businesses that provide beverages and/or liquor as a service or commodity are required to carry liquor liability insurance. In addition to making claims against such sellers under those insurance policies, customers can take legal action against the establishment from which they purchased and/or consumed alcohol if the establishment provided liquor in a way that did not follow mandatory age restrictions, it employed improperly trained staff, or it provided liquor to individuals who were intoxicated enough to be a danger to themselves and other patrons. We represent any individual who may have been affected by negligent alcohol consumption.
Accidents or injuries that occur as a result of the irresponsible actions of store or restaurant owners and employees should not be tolerated. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in 2006, alcohol-related motor vehicle crashes killed someone every 31 minutes and non-fatally injured someone every two minutes.
If you are a victim of a liquor violation, our experienced attorneys can help you secure all of the compensation to which you may be entitled. This may include compensation for your pain and suffering, financial losses, emotional distress, and medical expenses. In some cases, you may also be entitled to punitive damages for another party’s wrongdoing.
Our attorneys can help you deal with your insurance company, as well as the insurer of the other party or parties. Insurance companies have lawyers working hard to minimize their payouts; you need a lawyer who will work just as hard for you.
