Drunk Driving Accident Victims in Florida

Those who can bring personal injury claims against drunk drivers include anyone who was injured in an accident caused by that driver’s negligence.

Accident victims may be:

Drunk driving crashes can cause major injuries, such as head, neck, and back injuries, spinal cord damage, organ damage, broken bones, amputations, and more.

You may be eligible for damages including:

  • Past and future medical expenses

Our Tampa drunk driving accident lawyers are well-versed in insurance company tactics and how to combat them. We are also seasoned litigators with proven results over many decades in courtroom trials.

Florida's Dram Shop Law

Every state has its own rules that allow a person to seek compensation when another person causes an accident. In Florida, drunk driving accident victims may sometimes pursue compensation a third party such as a social host or bar that negligently provided alcohol to the intoxicated driver. This is commonly known as a "dram shop" law.

Under Florida Statues section 768.125, individuals who "willingly and unlawfully" provide alcohol to a minor under 21 or who knowingly serve alcohol to a person "habitually addicted" to alcohol may be held liable for any injuries the person may cause. Unlike many other states, however, Florida does not extend this liability to parties who serve alcohol to someone who is visibly intoxicated. Likewise, social hosts cannot be held civilly liable under Florida dram shop law, though they may sometimes face criminal charges if they provide alcohol to a minor.
