California Bar and Cruise Ship Liquor Liability Attorneys

Bars, social clubs, restaurants, liquor stores, cruise ships and charter boats that serve liquor in Southern California may be held liable in personal injury lawsuits arising from a DUI/DSWI. The liquor liability, or dram shop, laws are designed to hold those with liquor licenses accountable if they knew or reasonably should have known that they were overserving an already intoxicated patron or were serving alcohol to a minor.

These liquor establishments are required by law to maintain liquor liability insurance against these dram shop claims. Many smart operators and chartering companies even keep a Breathalyzer on hand in order to prevent intoxication accidents and limit their exposure in a lawsuit.
