Dram shop law

Dram shop liability refers to the responsibility of a person or place that sells or serves alcohol. This includes bars, restaurants and liquor stores. If an employee of such an establishment serves or sells liquor to an individual who was obviously intoxicated, dram shop liability may become a factor in the case. The person or store may be held liable for the injuries caused by the drunk driving accident.
