Birmingham Dram Shop Liability Lawyer Helps Accident Victims

Negligence in Serving of Alcohol in Bars and Clubs

For adults over 21, it is illegal in Alabama to drive with a Blood Alcohol Level (BAC) of .08 or higher. For drivers with a Commercial Driver’s License, the laws are even tougher. Despite these laws, Mothers Against Drunk Drivers reports that In the past five years, over 1,733 Alabama residents have tragically lost their lives in accidents caused by drunk drivers.

Alabama Dram Shop Laws

Alabama has laws, called “dram shop laws” that regulate the distribution and sale of alcohol. These laws impose liability on bars, clubs, restaurants, liquor stores or convenience stores that sell alcohol to noticeably intoxicated individuals or minors.

A third party, such as a spouse, parent or child — may sue an establishment or store for over-serving, selling, or giving alcohol to a minor or intoxicated individual — if the third party is injured, loses his means of support, or sustains property damage due to the actions of the intoxicated individual.
