Have you been injured by a drunk driver? Alcohol-related motor vehicle accidents kill someone every 31 minutes and non-fatally injure someone every two minutes. Forty percent of all traffic-related deaths involve alcohol. If you'd like to contact us about an injury please go here.

Our nation continues to disseminate prevention education throughout our communities. Even though laws have been enacted to deter people from drinking and driving, deterrence does not compensate those who suffer severe injuries from this criminal act.

If you have been seriously injured in an accident caused by an intoxicated person, liquor liability may come in one of many forms. Your first reaction may be to quickly accuse the driver for your injuries. While in most cases this is right, there may be several parties involved in the chain of events leading up to your injury. When the illegal sale of alcohol plays a role in an accident, establishments such as restaurants, clubs, bars or private company events (office parties) can be held responsible. Laws impose liability on liquor establishments and individuals for the illegal sale of alcohol which directly results in the injury of another person. Illegal sales of alcohol include:

• Selling liquor to a minor
• Selling liquor to an apparently intoxicated person (over-serving)
• Selling liquor after hours
• Selling liquor on a day prohibited by law

When you sustain injuries which are even partly due to the involvement of alcohol, you are entitled to financial compensation for medical and property expenses, loss of future wages and expenses, as well as pain and suffering.
