Arizona’s dram shop laws hold bars, restaurants, nightclubs, and other licensed establishments accountable when they keep serving a visibly intoxicated patron who then injures or kills someone. These cases add a critical layer of responsibility beyond the intoxicated individual, because the establishment that kept pouring had a legal duty to cut that person off.

If a drunk driver harmed you or a family member, and that driver had been overserved at a licensed establishment before getting behind the wheel, you may have a dram shop claim in addition to the claim against the driver. These cases often turn on surveillance footage, point-of-sale records, server testimony, and toxicology evidence. All of that evidence requires careful and timely preservation.
