Need To Know DUI DWI Issues

Consequences for a DUI conviction can be severe and different by state.

DUI convictions carry severe consequences that differ by state. Punishment can include losing your license, ignition interlock systems, required driving school, probation, court-ordered counseling, and even jail time. The penalties are much more harsh if this is not your first conviction.

If a motorist whose driver's license has been suspended or revoked as a result of drunk driving and decides to drive without a valid driver's license and is pulled over, that individual stands to face more severe penalties, including potential fines, jail time, or seizure of his or her car and/or extension of the driver's license suspension/revocation.

For the best drunk driving DUI outcome possible in your case, it is essential to have a lawyer that knows DWI, DUI laws by your side.

Dram Shop Laws

Dram shop laws are meant to put some of the responsibility for damages caused by an intoxicated person on the establishment that served the drinks. The law says that alcohol is not to be served to an already intoxicated person. But if this happens and the drunk driver then causes an accident, the victim in this accident can file a personal injury lawsuit not just against the drunk driver, but also the establishment where the drinks were bought.

Have you or a loved one been arrested for charges related to dram shop laws? Our local DUI lawyers are here to help you! Contact a DUI attorney in your area today for more information.

The law varies by state, but the plaintiff must generally be able to prove the list of issues outlined below:

  • Sale of Alcohol to Drunk Driver
  • Establishment Knowingly Sold Alcohol to Intoxicated Patron
  • Establishment Knew Patron Was Driving Motor Vehicle
  • Proof of DUI Accident
  • Injuries Sustained in the Accident

Some of these points are usually not contested, such as sale of alcohol to the driver in question or proof that it was a DUI accident. But whether the establishment knew the driver was previously intoxicated and that he was driving a motor vehicle are both debatable aspects. The staff member who took the order could claim not to have any knowledge of both aspects.

Selling alcohol to minors is illegal in all 50 states. In some states, the family of the teen who bought the drinks and caused an accident can sue the establishment for damages and personal injury.
