Alcohol Poisoning

Though many cases of alcohol poisoning stem from the victim’s irresponsible choices, some cases of alcohol poisoning result from public establishments that continue to serve clearly intoxicated individuals. Individuals who continue to consume alcohol after they are intoxicated run the risk of suffering alcohol poisoning.

Alcohol poisoning may result in serious, long term injuries or even death. If someone you love passed away after an establishment served him or her alcohol even after he or she was intoxicated, contact the Pennsylvania wrongful death lawyers of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C. at 610-667-7511.

Dram Shop Liability

In the United States, most states have dram shop liability laws. Under these laws, establishments that serve alcohol, the dram shops, may be liable for injuries that their clients suffer if they continued to serve their clients alcohol after they were intoxicated.

Though these laws usually extend just to the victims of these individuals, some states allow the intoxicated individuals’ families to sue the dram shops for injuries to their loved ones. This is especially effective for children of individuals who pass away because of alcohol poisoning.

Before filing a lawsuit on your loved one’s behalf, consult with an experienced wrongful death attorney to be sure that dram shop liability factors into your loved one’s passing.
