Commentary:
While the specifics of this accident are still being ironed out, people may have some questions on alcohol related accidents that are pretty common in situations like this. Many people would like to know what options they may have, and researching liquor liability laws in your state could be helpful. Some states are equipped with a set of liquor liability laws that make sure bars and liquor stores don’t serve to people who are clearly drunk, and dont serve people to the point of gross intoxication. If any bar in a state with good liquor liability laws fails to serve alcohol responsibly, the bar in question can be held liable WITH the driver they fueled if the facts line up.
