Dram Shop & Liquor Liability

Overview

Bars, restaurants, convenience stores, and other establishments face increasingly significant exposure to claims involving injuries or deaths as a result of serving alcohol to their patrons. These “dram shop” claims tend to be complex, multi-party lawsuits that demand extensive experience with the statutory framework to position the case for the best outcome. 



The lawyers at Cox P.L.L.C. routinely represent clients and their insurance carriers in a wide variety of dram shop cases and have a demonstrated record of success defending these cases—both at the trial and appellate level.

When Cox P.L.L.C. is retained on a case, our lawyers carefully analyze every aspect of each claim to identify liability defenses, expert needs, potential damages, exposure, and litigation costs. We work closely with insurance carriers and their insureds to help make strategic decisions to efficiently resolve claims. 



Our approach involves a comprehensive investigation of the claim, a thorough assessment of potential risks, and the provision of 
cost-efficient counsel to help clients reduce exposure and achieve their preferred resolution. Leveraging our extensive experience in litigating dram shop claims, we craft and implement unique litigation strategies aimed at safeguarding our clients’ interests.
