Dram Shop Liability ∙ Liability for Over-Serving Alcohol

Serving alcohol to someone who is visibly drunk is not only dangerous, it is against the law. When someone is injured or killed in a drunk driving accident, the bar, restaurant, club, or other establishment that served the alcohol may be held responsible for financial damages caused by the drunk driving accident. However, under Georgia liquor liability laws (dram shop liability laws) it is necessary to prove that the server knew or had reason to know that the individual was already intoxicated when the liquor was served.
