The Truth About Claims Against Drunk Drivers and the Bars That Overserve Them

The Legal Truth

South Carolina is in the top 10 in the country for deaths caused by drunk driving. There’s a drunk driving problem and an overservice problem.

On this episode of The Legal Truth, hosts Dirk Derrick and Pearl Carey, on the firm’s professional staff, talk to Dorsey Strickland, an attorney at the Derrick Law Firm, about claims against drunk drivers and the bars that over serve them.

Tune in as Dirk explains why a victim of drunk driving/overserving in South Carolina needs to hire an attorney who handles these types of cases (not all law firms do), why these cases require fast investigation, and the types of damages a victim can seek for injuries caused by drunk driving and overserving. The episode also briefly explains when a bar can be held liable for overserving and how there are some in the restaurant/bar industry who are trying to fight the South Carolina legislation meant to keep drunk drivers off the road.
