Alcoholic Beverage Liability: Overview
Restaurant and bar owners, party hosts, alcoholic beverage manufacturers and distributors may be liable for injuries and deaths of those intoxicated or those harmed by an intoxicated person. Most instances of liability occur when one of these parties furnishes alcoholic beverages such as beer, wine or hard liquor to underage persons or those who are clearly already drunk. Additionally, state and local governments have many and varied laws regulating alcohol sales and distribution. When one of these parties violates such laws, liability may follow. If you have been seriously injured by an intoxicated person, it may be important for you to contact an attorney who can help you protect your legal rights. Please keep in mind that there may be time limits within which you must commence suit.
