INTOXICATED PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR INJURY
Alcohol can be a problem in many situations. Most commonly, drinking and driving comes to mind.Drunk drivers on the road are a hazard to society.Our lawyers have been involved in many cases where a drunk driver completely changed people’s lives.It is not just the people in the car hit by a drunk driver. The lives of the victims’ family, friends, business associates, and others are affected.Not to mention the life of the drunk driver and his family.
However, drunk driving is not nearly the end of the story when it comes to possible alcohol injuries. Our attorneys also take cases where alcohol was combined with a firearm, resulting in a tragic outcome. It should be obvious to any responsible gun owner not to drink and hold a gun at the same time. Nonetheless, this apparently happens with some frequency. Even being in the same room as a gun when you are intoxicated is a serious risk. Alcohol leads to impaired coordination and motor skills, and also impaired judgment. In many cases, the gun would not have been used at all if not for the alcohol.
PHYSICAL VIOLENCE FROM INTOXICATION
Our personal injury lawyers also represent people injured because a drunk assaulted them. In most of those cases, we have to bring the case against the bar that overserved the drunk person. Minnesota law holds the bar responsible for overserving someone who then injures another person. Unfortunately, we often cannot successfully sue the assailant directly in those cases because they don’t have money. Plus, insurance doesn’t cover intentional acts. However, there have been some cases where we have successfully brought claims directly against the drunk person.
