If you or someone you know has been injured or killed by a drunk driver,
call the Kuzmich Law Firm to ensure that each and every one of your
potential claims is addressed.
Victims of drunk drivers have claims not only against
the drunk driver, but also against the bar that served him/her.
Under the Texas Dram Shop Act, bars and restaurants must serve alcohol
in a responsible manner, and they can be held liable for the actions of
their intoxicated patrons. Their liability is not limited to drunk
driving (DWI or DUI) cases, but can include other harms caused by drunken bar
patrons.
Note: If you are concerned that you may be held liable for the actions
of houseguests, be aware that the Texas Dram Shop Act does not apply to
individuals who serve alcohol to social guests over the age of
twenty-one (21). The Act does apply, however, when guests are
required to pay for their drinks or a “cash bar” is provided at a social
gathering. If you have questions about how the Texas Dram Shop Act may
hold you responsible for the actions of your guests, please feel free to
call our office.
If you or someone you know was the victim of
intoxication related injury, please call us.
If you are
concerned about possible criminal issues related to the sale or
provision of alcohol from your home or business, please feel free to
call us regarding that as well. Our staff is ready to assist you.
