Alcohol Liability, Alcohol Legal Liability
Liquor liability under the Dram Shop Act can hold a licensed provider of alcohol responsible for any harm or injury caused by selling alcohol to an intoxicated customer, which leads to an accident or fatality; but the issues involved with intoxicated customers and over-serving of patrons are not always “cut and dry”.
Alcohol Liability is a term used to describe the legal responsibility that an organization may have for its patrons when alcohol is served. Anyone involved in the service of alcohol could be held liable for damages or injuries where alcohol is deemed to have been a contributing factor, such as:
- Liability as a server – Serving people past the point of intoxication.
- Liability as an occupier: People, companies, or any other organization that owns, has possession of, or is responsible for premises are responsible for protecting persons on their premises from harm.
- Liability as an employer regarding employees consuming alcohol, such as at staff parties.
- Liability as a sponsor of potentially dangerous activities.
- Use of excessive force – Security personnel cannot use unnecessary or excessive force to manage intoxicated patrons.
