Drunken driving causes such immense damage sadly every day of the year in America. If the liable driver is proven to have been drunk at the time of the accident the driver will hold liability but an alcohol-serving establishment may also be partially liable for the accident depending on the specifics of the accident and Oklahoma dram shop law. In such instances an independent investigation is often necessary in order to see if such a connection existed in this particular accident. As such the victims may consider contacting their respective family attorneys in order to see what their legal options may be in order to bring all liable parties to justice.
