New Jersey Personal Injury Lawyers:
Drunk Driving Accidents
Alcohol is involved in more than half of all fatal traffic accidents and accidents involving serious injury. If you or your family has been touched by a drunk-driving accident, you may be dealing with grief over the loss of a loved one or medical treatments for a serious injury. At the same time, you face mounting medical and household bills. There may be several parties responsible for your expenses, pain and suffering, and possibly punitive damages.
At The Law Offices of John F. Marshall we believe that you deserve maximum compensation for your loss. If you would like to talk to an attorney about an injury claim or wrongful death lawsuit, please do so at the earliest opportunity, while evidence is fresh and witnesses can be located. Contact our Red Bank office to arrange a free consultation. You may be able to file a lawsuit even if you were a passenger in the car driven by the intoxicated person.
The New Jersey law on serving alcohol to an intoxicated person
The state of New Jersey "dram shop" law holds those who serve alcohol to a visibly intoxicated person responsible for injuries that person causes. Alcohol-related accidents are common, but a dram shop case can be difficult. It is not difficult to prove that the drunk driver caused the car crash. It is extremely difficult, however, to prove that the bar, tavern, restaurant, or social host was negligent in serving the alcohol, and thus responsible for the drunk-driving accident.
Witnesses are the key to a successful dram shop claim
If we take your case, our lawyers will immediately begin an investigation, including a search for witnesses who observed the signs of intoxication before the last drink was served. We take only a few cases at a time, and then put all the resources of our firm to bear on recovering compensation for our client — you can be assured that we will give the investigation into your case the attention it deserves. Through determination, thorough preparation, and skill at trial, our attorneys have successfully recovered millions of dollars for victims of motor vehicle accidents.
