Lawsuits For People Injured by Drunk Drivers in New Jersey

Attorney contributor Guy D'Andrea represents people who have been injured by drunk drivers and helps them recover financial compensation for their injuries. Brian has offered to share some info on the legal rights of DUI crash victims:

People who have been injured by drunk drivers often struggle with serious financial and personal difficulties. No one should be forced to deal with these difficulties on their own. Fortunately, DUI injury victims can often recover financial compensation by filing a lawsuit.

In New Jersey and many other states, people who have been hit by drunk drivers may have grounds for two different types of lawsuits. A personal injury lawsuit can be filed against the drunk driver and in some cases, a dram shop lawsuit can be filed against an alcohol vendor that served the drunk driver before the crash.

A dram shop lawsuit can be filed against an alcohol vendor in New Jersey if:

  • the vendor served a customer who was “visibly intoxicated”, or
  • a customer who was under 21 years of age.
