$333,333 Dram Shop Settlement

Settlement: $333,333

Attorneys: Adam Smith and Christina Stone

We successfully represented the family of a young man who died following a motor vehicle collision with an impaired driver. Our client’s vehicle was struck by a drunk driver, and we reached a settlement with the applicable auto insurance company for the available insurance policy limits. We also pursued a “dram shop” action against the bar where the drunk driver consumed alcohol prior to the collision. We retained an expert accident reconstructionist, a private investigator, and a toxicologist to uncover evidence that the bar should have stopped serving alcohol to the defendant driver. Our aggressive legal tactics helped us convince the defendants to settle with us for the insurance policy limits of the bar.
