Important Things to Know:
“Dram shop” laws in Illinois provide liability against the bars and nightclubs who served the intoxicated individual.
“Dram shop” liability does not require negligence by the bar club owner. Rather, it simply needs to be shown that the bar served or provided the alcohol to the intoxicated person illegally.
The insurance company will do everything that they can to dispute the allegation that the person was intoxicated or that he got intoxicated at their bar or nightclub.
Important Things To Do:
1) Obtain the names and phone numbers of all witnesses who have knowledge of the fact that the individual was intoxicated and that the individual got intoxicated at defendants bar or nightclub.
2) File a police report and have it documented that the individual is intoxicated.
3) Get the names of bar employees who may have personal knowledge of the incident.
4) Retain an attorney immediately.
