Potentially Liable Parties After a DUI Accident

Although the majority of the blame for the accident will fall on the intoxicated driver, who will also likely face criminal charges, they may not be the only party responsible. Arizona’s dram shop liability laws states that other negligent parties that you may be able to sue:

Bar / Restaurant Owners
Servers and Bartenders
Night Clubs
Security Staff at Bars and Clubs
Managers of establishments serving alcohol
Driver’s Employer

Bartenders, managers, and owners of establishments serving alcohol can also be held liable if they over-served the driver who hit you. They are then partially responsible for allowing the person to become intoxicated. If you believe one of these parties is to blame for your accident, our drunk driving dram shop liability attorneys can help.
