What a Dram Shop Claim Involves
These claims focus on whether a bar, restaurant, or other establishment continued serving a patron who was already visibly intoxicated.
Evidence That Matters
Receipts, surveillance footage, and staff/witness statements about a patron's visible level of intoxication can all be relevant.
Alongside the Driver's Liability
A dram shop claim typically doesn't replace a claim against the impaired driver — both may be pursued depending on the facts.
