Atlanta Georgia Dram Shop Attorney - Georgia Wrongful Death
Posted on Mar 05, 2010
The family of a Texas woman killed in a December crash with an off-duty police officer filed a dram shop lawsuit the bar where the officer got drunk. The family decided to sue the bar in order to hold them accountable for over-serving patrons and placing profits before safety. The suit was filed under the Dram Shop Act, which allows those who sell alcohol to an obviously intoxicated person to be held liable for resulting damages. It alleges that servers at the bar continued to serve the officer to the point of him becoming "dangerously inebriated," then allowed him "to stagger out of the bar and drive away from bar in a city owned car."
Lawyers for the family said "[t]here is no amount of money that could replace the loss of life that this family has suffered . . . [and that the case] is not about the money. The lawsuit hopefully sends a message to bars and drinking establishments alike so that this tragedy doesn't happen again".
