Financial Compensation For Victims of Drunk Drivers

Attorney contributor Brian Kent represents drunk driving crash victims and their families in civil lawsuits. Brian has offered to share some information on the legal rights of these victims and families in Illinois:

These victims and their families have legal rights, including the right to financial compensation. Of course, direct personal injury lawsuits can be filed against the drunk driver. In addition to this, some states, including Illinois, have dram shop lawsuits that allow alcohol vendors to be held liable for a victim’s injuries in some situations.

Illinois dram shop laws state that an alcohol vendor can be held responsible for injuries or deaths caused by a customer if:

• they served alcohol to someone who was visibly intoxicated at the time of service, or
• they served alcohol to a minor under the age of 21.
