Every state allows victims of drunk drivers to file a personal injury lawsuit against the driver who hit them. In some states, including California, there are dram shop laws that may allow third-party alcohol vendors to be held liable for a victim’s injuries.

California’s dram shop laws state that alcohol vendors or private social hosts may be held liable for a victim’s injuries if they provided alcohol to someone under the age of 21 who then went on to cause a crash.
