Dram Shop Law

Drunk drivers and the establishments that served an intoxicated person, including bars, hotels, nightclubs or restaurants, may be held negligent and responsible for injuries or property damage that is caused by the recipient’s intoxication. Under Florida’s drunk driving law, or dram shop law, you may be entitled to file a claim against the establishment that sells or furnishes alcohol to a drunk driver if they are a minor, or if the establishment knowingly serves an alcoholic.
