Atlanta Social Host Liability Attorneys

In some drunk driving accidents, the intoxicated driver may not be the only person liable for the accident. If the inebriated driver came from a party or other gathering that served alcohol, the host may be held partially responsible for any injuries or property damage caused by the drunk driver. This is called social host liability.

Unfortunately, a social host may not always abide by alcohol laws, which can result injuries or even death. If you or someone you know has been in an accident with a drunk driver, you may be able to receive financial compensation for your suffering.

What is Social Host Liability?

The social host liability laws are unfortunately not as clear as other alcohol-related laws. There are, however, some general precautions that should be taken by a social host who is serving alcohol. These precautions include:

• Never serve alcohol to minors—if a minor is served alcohol by a social host and later injures himself or someone else, the social host can be held accountable for the resulting injuries
• Never encourage intoxicated people to drink more—while most states do not have an official law regarding social hosts serving to drunk people, there have been instances in which courts have found social hosts liable in this situation
• Never sell alcohol without a license to do so—if a social host is illegally selling alcohol in social settings, there can be serious legal repercussions

If you have been injured because a social host has violated any of these aforementioned precautions, you can fight back against this irresponsible and reckless behavior.
