In the event of an alleged drunk driving accident that results in injury to a person a suspected drunk driver can be held civilly liable for the consequences of their actions regardless of whether or not criminal charges have been pressed. Furthermore depending on the type and enforcement level of liquor liability laws in Missouri a negligent alcohol-serving establishment may bear partial liability for an alleged drunken driving accident if a driver became intoxicated at a bar or restaurant prior to causing an accident. An independent investigation is often conducted into such matters in order to determine if such a chain of events may have contributed to a wreck.
