Bartender Liability

Establishments that serve alcoholic beverages are ubiquitous, not only in the United States, but all around the world. However, people who profit from the sale of intoxicating beverages have a responsibility and duty to mitigate the risks inherent with the consumption of alcohol, and failure to do so may cause severe injuries, both to their customers and innocent bystanders.

If you or a loved one has been injured by a person who has been served an excessive amount of alcohol, contact the Philadelphia personal injury lawyers of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C. at 215-238-1130 for a free consultation.

Liability for Alcohol-Related Injuries and Deaths

More than 15,000 people die every year as a result of accidents caused by drunk drivers. Although some of these drivers became intoxicated at their own home or at other social events, the majority of them were served alcohol at a bar, restaurant, or other establishment that serves alcohol.

Bartenders have a responsibility to reasonably ensure the safety of their customers and those who may be affected by their actions. Continuing to serve a person who is visibly or otherwise obviously intoxicated is dangerous, and depending on the jurisdiction, may expose the establishment to liability for any injuries that result from that person’s actions.
