Under Pennsylvania law, a restaurant, tavern or bar in the business of selling alcoholic beverages to the public has a legal duty not to serve alcohol to a person who is visibly intoxicated or under the age of twenty-one (21).
Where a liquor establishment breaches this legal duty and an individual sustains personal injuries in an accident caused by the intoxicated person, then the restaurant, tavern or bar may be liable for personal injury damages sustained by the injured person. We utilize skilled investigators, accident reconstructionists, toxicologists and various other expert witnesses in our investigation and prosecution of a liquor liability case. These cases often involve plaintiffs who sustain injuries in automobile accidents, motorcycle accidents and assaults. McMahon & McMahon has successfully achieved large out-of-court settlements and trial verdicts in liquor liability lawsuits also known as Dram Shop actions in serious injury and death cases.
