Tucson Dram Shop Liability Consultation

Accidents caused by drunk drivers can be devastating for a family, as they can result in fatal head injuries, brain injuries, paralysis, and even death.

An establishment that serves a driver can be sued if that driver sustains injury or wrongful death, or injures or kills another person while driving.

Among the damages that could be recovered are medical expenses, future medical costs, pain and suffering, lost wages, and lost quality of life.

Dram shop liability includes:

• The sale of alcohol to an obviously intoxicated individual
• The sale of alcohol to a minor
• The sale of alcohol with an expired liquor license or without a license
• The sale of alcohol outside of designated hours

Dram shop laws can also apply to parents who allow their underage children to drink alcohol at home and then drive, resulting in an injury or death.
