Common Liquor Liability Scenarios
Every case is different, but here are a few situations where liquor liability may apply: A visibly drunk patron is served multiple drinks, leaves the bar, and causes a fatal accident on Route 22; A minor is served alcohol at a friend’s house and ends up in a serious crash on their way home; An intoxicated guest gets violent at a wedding, injures another attendee, and the venue did nothing to intervene; A convenience store sells alcohol to an underage buyer who later injures someone. In cases like these, our job is to uncover the chain of events, determine who acted negligently, and pursue fair compensation for the people hurt by those actions.

Why Liquor Liability Cases Matter
These cases aren’t about punishing every bar or host who serves a drink—they’re about accountability. Alcohol-related incidents often lead to life-changing injuries, long-term trauma, and devastating losses. Liquor liability claims help provide financial relief for victims, cover medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. But they also do something bigger: They force businesses and hosts to take their responsibilities seriously. When a venue knows they can be held accountable, they’re more likely to train staff properly, follow the law, and step in before something bad happens. It’s about preventing future tragedies while helping families rebuild after one.

A History of Success
I just signed myself up with attorney Snover and had previously hired a different attorney but wasn’t satisfied with him. I then went to attorney Snover and he took my car accident case and is now helping me with my injury settlement. He is extremely knowledgeable at what he does, takes the time to talk with you and to fully understand your case. I highly recommend this place for your attorney needs.
