The phrase "dram shop" sounds odd, but injuries resulting from illegal sale of alcohol are all too common. Dram shop cases may arise out of any number of negligent incidents, including, but not limited to:
- Drunk driving accidents
- Assaults
- Hit-and-run accidents
- An injury at a concert
- Drowning
If alcohol was supplied illegally and played a role in the incident, you may have grounds for a dram shop case.
A dram shop was the name given to black market distributors of alcohol in 18th century England, where they sold it "by the dram" without paying taxes. Today, dram shop cases fall into two categories:
- Selling to an obviously intoxicated person. This may apply to bars, restaurants, or concert venues, and can lead to drunk-driving accidents and other serious risks.
- Selling to an under-aged person. Young people are killed in automobile, truck, and motorcycle accidents at a much higher rate than those over 21. Alcohol is often a factor. With this in mind, the Law Offices of Joe Bornstein is committed to our Arrive Alive program. Our goal is to see that high school students avoid the dangers of drinking and driving.
