Restaurant/Bar Liability

Florida's dram shop law provides a potential statutory cause of action for anyone who has been injured by certain alleged intoxicated persons against vendors in the business of selling alcohol. 

Successful defense of claims brought pursuant to Florida's dram shop law requires intimate knowledge of the various elements of proof necessary for a finding of liability as well as which defenses can preclude such a finding.
