Dram Shop Act

The Dram Shop Act is a Michigan law that holds liquor establishments responsible for injuries caused by visibly intoxicated patrons they served. Under this statute, bars, restaurants, and other licensed venues can be liable for personal injury or wrongful death damages if they negligently over-served alcohol to a patron who then caused harm due to their intoxication. This law provides an important legal avenue for victims of drunk driving accidents, slip and fall incidents on the premises, or other injuries resulting from a liquor establishment’s failure to monitor and curtail alcohol service appropriately.
