What Is a Dram Shop Law?

Dram shop laws hold businesses legally responsible when they serve alcohol to visibly intoxicated people or minors who go on to cause harm. These laws are meant to protect the public by preventing reckless alcohol service. Because these businesses are financially motivated to sell more drinks to customers, dram shop laws provide financial consequences to help prevent harm.

You may have a dram shop case if:

• A bar or restaurant served someone who was clearly intoxicated
• That person caused a drunk driving crash, assault, or other injury
• The injury or death could have been prevented if the bar had stopped serving them

Real Accountability for Preventable Harm

Overserving alcohol isn’t just irresponsible—it’s dangerous and deadly. Every year, innocent people are injured or killed because a bar or restaurant kept pouring drinks for someone who should’ve been cut off.
