DRAM SHOP & LIQUOR LIABILITY

OVERSERVED DRIVER? OUR LAWYERS HAVE EXTENSIVE PRACTICE IN DRAM SHOP & LIQUOR LIABILITY.

── Dram Shop Lawyers Greenville, South Carolina Residents Trust! 

DUI accidents happen far too often, and if you or a loved one has been injured or lost their life due to a drunk driver, it’s crucial to hold the responsible parties accountable. While criminal charges can be pursued, they often bring little comfort to victims and their families—especially when some offenders face only a temporary license suspension and a fine instead of jail time.

But what about the families and survivors left with overwhelming medical bills, lost income, funeral expenses, or long-term rehabilitation costs? Since many drunk drivers are repeat offenders with little to no assets, Kyle J. White Law Firm works to identify other parties who may be liable for your losses—helping your family find the justice and financial recovery you deserve.

── Dram Shop Lawyers Anderson, South Carolina Drivers Turn to After Accidents

For this reason, Kyle J. White Law Firm handles a range of catastrophic injury cases as well as wrongful death lawsuits. Our priority is ensuring that your family gets the support and justice they deserve during this difficult time. In South Carolina, when bars, clubs, and restaurants fail to stop serving an intoxicated customer who then chooses to drive drunk, dram shop lawyers can hold those businesses legally and financially accountable for the harm caused by the impaired driver.

Every night, bars, restaurants, clubs, and similar establishments continue serving alcohol to customers who have already had too much to drink. When they fail to intervene—whether by taking away car keys, arranging alternative transportation, or simply cutting off service—they endanger lives and increase the likelihood of devastating accidents. Fortunately, South Carolina law allows these establishments to be held accountable for the consequences of their negligence.

At Kyle J. White Law Firm, we believe this reckless behavior must be stopped. Until businesses take responsibility for their actions, they will continue to overserve alcohol and contribute to the dangers of drunk driving. If your family has suffered due to a drunk driver’s actions, we are here to fight for the compensation you deserve.

── South Carolina Dram Shop Laws 

South Carolina has laws known as dram shop liability. If an establishment serves alcohol to someone to the point of intoxication, it can be held partially responsible for that individual’s actions after they leave. For instance, if a couple has already consumed multiple bottles of wine and the restaurant provides them with complimentary champagne—further overserving them—the establishment may be liable if the intoxicated driver causes an accident on the way home. Similarly, if a bar hosting a college party overserves a student who then strikes a pedestrian on the way back to campus, the bar could share responsibility.

Under South Carolina law (S.C. Code Ann. § 61-4-580), it is illegal to knowingly serve alcohol to anyone who is visibly intoxicated or underage. In dram shop liability cases, we work to prove that an establishment or individual violated this law by serving alcohol unlawfully.

At Kyle J. White Law Firm, we are committed to ensuring that injured individuals and their families receive full compensation for their financial, physical, and emotional losses. We hold at-fault parties accountable for the harm they cause. When a drunk driver injures or kills an innocent person, we apply South Carolina’s dram shop laws to pursue legal action against the establishment that contributed to the tragic event, ensuring justice for the victims and their loved ones.
