Drunk Driving Accidents

Washington, D.C., Drunk Driving Accident Attorney

Under certain circumstances, taverns, restaurants, and hosts of private parties can be held liable for injuries and fatalities caused by drunk drivers. Under dram shop laws in Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia, liability in drunk driving accidents is shared by those who serve a visibly intoxicated person prior to a car accident. At the law offices of Frederick J. Brynn, we work with experienced investigators in collecting bar tabs, restaurant bills, credit card statements, and eyewitness testimony in drunk driving accident cases. As your lawyer, Mr. Brynn recreates a timeline pertaining to when drinks were ordered, how much was served, and when a bar or restaurant should have refused to serve any more.

Holding Those Responsible Liable in a Court of Law

Most bars and servers of alcohol deny that they knowingly served a visibly intoxicated patron. In order to establish our client's case, we conduct our own investigation into the hours leading up to a drunk driver hitting our client. In some instances, video footage from a restaurant or parking lot may show the driver in question stumbling or having difficulty maintaining his or her balance. In other cases, a careful analysis of a drunk driver's bar or restaurant bill provides a timeline of when drinks were served. We also interview wait staff and other patrons, eliciting testimony regarding slurred speech and motor coordination problems indicative of intoxication.
