Protecting Victims and Families Impacted by Drunk Driving and Overserving
Dram Shop Cases Attorney In Middlebury, Connecticut
Understanding Dram Shop Liability in Connecticut
In Connecticut, state law places a significant responsibility on bars, restaurants, and other establishments when they serve alcohol to patrons who are already visibly intoxicated. If such an individual subsequently causes harm—whether to themselves or others—those establishments can be held legally accountable. These important regulations, often referred to as “Dram Shop” laws, are specifically designed to promote accountability within the service industry and to protect the public from the catastrophic consequences that can arise from drunk driving and alcohol-related accidents. By enforcing these laws, the state aims to deter irresponsible alcohol service and foster safer communities.
If you or a loved one has been injured by a drunk driver, and that driver was overserved at a licensed establishment, you may very well have a valid claim against not only the intoxicated driver but also the business that provided the alcohol. At Minnella & Tramuta, LLC, our dedicated team is committed to helping victims and their families pursue justice and seek fair compensation under Connecticut’s Dram Shop Act, ensuring that those responsible for these injuries are held accountable and that you receive the support you deserve during this challenging time.

Holding Establishments Accountable for Overserving
Proving a Dram Shop claim requires demonstrating that an establishment served alcohol to an individual who was visibly intoxicated, and that this decision directly resulted in an accident or injury. This process can involve a thorough review of surveillance footage, gathering detailed witness statements, and investigating various types of evidence, including receipts, bar tabs, or event records. Each piece of information can play a critical role in establishing the timeline of events and the circumstances surrounding the incident.
