Bar or tavern liability is an important area of the law. If the drunk driver<\/a> that hit you left a bar that served that person too much alcohol, the bar could be wholly or partially responsible for the accident.<\/p>\n

Bars and taverns have a duty not to serve visibly intoxicated individuals. They may have a duty to ensure that an intoxicated patron does not drive their vehicle and cause a hazard.<\/p>\n

If you or a loved one was injured due to a drunk driver that left a bar or tavern, you may need to pursue a claim against that institution. As this is a tricky area of the law, you need guidance from a lawyer. Call the team at Diamond & Diamond<\/a>\u2122 for your free consultation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\t
