Liquor Law Liability Attorney New Jersey

One American dies in an alcohol-related car crash every 30 minutes and drunk driving plays a role in over 40 percent of this nation's traffic deaths.

MD&L successfully settled a case in which a group of teenagers were admitted into a nightclub, served alcoholic beverages, and although one young man was visibly intoxicated, he was permitted to leave. He drove off and crashed into a tree at a high rate of speed and suffered brain damage and multiple fractures. MD&L was able to establish that the nightclub had a habit of admitting underage patrons and serving them alcohol. The case settled at mediation at a very satisfactory amount under a confidentiality agreement.

If you have suffered physical and financial harm due to an accident, assault, or other incident involving an intoxicated person, you may be able to sue under liquor liability laws in New Jersey and New York.

Bars and other drinking establishments are required to cut off a person who appears visibly intoxicated from drinking or purchasing alcoholic beverages. A seller of alcoholic beverages whether it be a bar, hotel, catering hall or even an organization running a picnic where alcoholic beverages such as beer are being provided may be liable if a person who got drunk through their beverages harms another person as a result of his intoxication, whether it be by motor vehicle or otherwise.

In addition, if the liquor sale took place to a minor, the business who sold liquor to the perpetrator could be liable for damages suffered in an intoxicated assault or motor vehicle accident even if the minor was not visibly intoxicated at the time of purchase.
