DRAM SHOP AWARD:

By: emailwire March 22, 2010 at 2:27 pm

(EMAILWIRE.COM, March 22, 2010 ) Alachua County, FL – Attorney Jason Miller of Morgan and Morgan recovered a $700,000+ settlement for the surviving family members of a male who was killed in a tragic auto accident involving dram shop liability. The decedent’s minor brother was unlawfully sold alcohol by two businesses prior to when the fatal accident took place. Following the unlawful alcohol sales, the minor drove the vehicle head-on into a roadside tree. His brother, who was in the front passenger seat of the vehicle at the time of the accident, was killed.

Morgan and Morgan wrongful death attorney Jason Miller sought financial compensation from the businesses who illegally sold alcohol to the minor driver of the car. Dram shop liability laws hold alcohol servers responsible for harm that intoxicated or underage patrons cause to other people. Therefore, if it can be established that a business knowingly sold alcohol to someone who shouldn’t be drinking, the business can be held liable for damages resulting from the sale. After a heavily disputed liability lawsuit against the two businesses involved in this matter, the case was resolved just prior to the scheduled jury trial. The wrongful death victim’s surviving relatives were awarded $700,000+.
