The law obviously allows an injured party to make a claim against an intoxicated person that causes them injuries. But what if the intoxicated person has little or no insurance which would pay for your injury-related expenses? The good news is there may be an additional party that an injured person can make a claim against.
New York requires that the owner of a bar or restaurant sell alcohol to patrons responsibly. This means that a bar or restaurant may not sell alcohol to anyone who is underage. It also means that they may not sell alcohol to visibly intoxicated individuals over the age of twenty-one. Failure to adhere to this law will expose the Restaurant or Bar to liability for the intoxicated individual’s negligent or intentional actions that cause another injury. This has become known as the “Dram Shop Law.” The name comes from the term dram, which is defined as a small unit of liquid. Palermo Law is a Garden City Personal Injury Law Firm dedicated to representing individuals that have suffered serious injuries as a result of another’s negligent actions.
Not all accidents require the assistance of an accident attorney. But if you have suffered an injury from neglectful conditions, it’s a good idea to speak to an attorney before discussing your case with the representative from the property owner. Often, a personal injury attorney can protect your legal rights, recoup compensation for lost wages and medical bills and obtain a settlement for your pain and suffering.
The value of an injury suffered in a liquor liability accident is an accumulation of several different factors. These include any accident related economic expenses such as lost wages, as well as non-economic losses such as pain and suffering. At Palermo Law, our experience in handling thousands of accident cases allows us to accurately assess the value of your case to determine the fairest settlement or jury award. In cases of long-term injuries, we partner with experts in the fields of medicine and economics to make sure that your compensation is adjusted for future inflation. This allows you the peace of mind knowing that you will be compensated for years to come.

Most personal injury lawsuits are settled out of court at some point before a trial. Many personal injury law firms in Nassau don’t fully prepare their cases for trial when anticipating a settlement. This weakens their position when it comes time to negotiating a settlement. At Palermo Law, we always fully prepare every case as if it is going to trial. This level of preparation gives us the leverage to negotiate the highest possible compensation for our clients and puts us in a strong position should a trial become necessary.
