After years of public service announcements and aggressive public education campaigns aimed at lowering the number of drunk driving incidences across the country, the United States continues to see people drive drunk. In fact, many of the most serious car accidents which occur in Denver are the result of drunk drivers. Victims of these drunk drivers are often left with serious injuries, or even lose their lives all together. What many of these victims may not know is that the bars and club which served the alcohol to the drunk driver may be at least partially liable.
Jurisdictions across the country have differing ways of adjudicating cases in which alcohol-serving hospitality establishments, such as restaurants, bars, and clubs, are accused of having served too much alcohol to a patron. However, these establishments are generally required to cease serving alcohol to a patron who has obviously become drunk. In cases where these establishments continue to serve intoxicated patrons, they may be held liable, at least in part, should the patron leave the establishment and become involved in a DUI related automobile accident.
If you, or a loved one, have been injured or killed as a result of a drunk driving accident in Denver, you may be not only entitled to monetary compensation from the driver and their insurance, but if the driver was intoxicated as a result of the negligence of a hospitality establishment, it may be entitled to additional compensation.
