Anytime alcohol is a factor in a motor vehicle crash, the family of the victim needs to have an investigation performed into where the drunk driver had been drinking. Under Kentucky law, if the drunk driver was drinking at a bar or restaurant prior to et accident, the victim could bring a Kentucky Dram Shop legal action against that business for over-serving the drink driver. This type of legal claim will help afford the victim or their family more financial reimbursement and compensation for the accident and helps to punish bars and restaurants for over-serving drinkers, putting their profits over the safety of the community.

This tragic drunk driving accident should not go unpunished. Even though the at-fault driver was killed in the accident, and thus no criminal charges will be levied, the family of the deceased can seek to use the civil justice system to file a civil Wrongful Death Suit against the driver of the vehicle’s estate, the insurance companies involved, and use the case to seek to determine if the drunk driver had been over-served at a business prior to the accident. If over-service of alcohol was a factor, then the business which did such can be sued under Kentucky Dram Shop laws and penalized for putting profits over safety, which resulted in the loss of life.
