Often people visit establishments and are confronted with serious injuries ranging from assault to slip-and-falls due to improper maintenance or intoxicated patrons. People can also be injured in vehicles at the hands of drunk drivers who were overserved at a restaurant, bar, sporting event or other establishment.

Depending on circumstances, witnesses, and a wide range of facts, the law can hold a person who distributes alcohol to intoxicated customers and minors liable. Owners of establishments serving liquor are legally bound to follow strict guidelines and regulations relating to the distribution and service of alcohol and other products.
