California Dram Shop Laws

Dram Shop acts and those that are similar to California’s Law impose civil liabilities on barkeepers and liquor establishments, resulting from the actions of intoxicated patrons. If you or a loved one has been injured in a car accident caused by a drunk driver, you may be able to recover additional money damages from the bar, restaurant, and/or establishment that served liquor to the intoxicated motorist.

California’s Civil Code sections 1714 and 1714.1 protect innocent third persons against the risk of physical harm caused by those who irresponsibly sell, or provide, alcoholic beverages to other individuals, responsible for a DUI accident and injury.

Compensation for a Drunk Driving Victim

If you are a victim of a DUI related accident you may be able to recover for various types of compensation:

• Medical Expenses: Reimbursement for past and future medical costs, including hospital bills, rehabilitation, and ongoing treatments.
• Lost Wages: Compensation for income lost due to inability to work during recovery or permanent loss of earning capacity.
• Pain and Suffering: Damages for physical pain, emotional distress, and diminished quality of life resulting from the accident.
• Property Damage: Coverage for repairs or replacement of your vehicle and other property damaged in the crash.
• Punitive Damages: Additional compensation meant to punish the drunk driver for reckless behavior and deter future misconduct.

A skilled personal injury lawyer ensures you receive fair compensation by thoroughly evaluating your case and negotiating with insurance companies or pursuing litigation if needed. Their expertise is key to protecting your rights.

How a Lawyer Can Help You Sue a Drunk Driver

In the most general terms, to pursue any personal injury lawsuit, you have to:

• Demonstrate you have sustained an injury
• Show that injury was the result of the other driver’s negligence or recklessness and the “dangerous condition existed”
• Demonstrate the amount of your damages

When the accident, injury, and expenses were the result of drunk driving, the accident case can present additional complex legal matters, so it is important to consult an attorney who has significant experience for those hurt by DUI drivers without knowledgeably handling these kind of cases because the ordinary “quick settlement” can often result in your settlement not covering all your medical bills, and expenses
