Additional Info: Colorado's Dram Shop Law follows a model where establishments can be held liable for serving alcohol to intoxicated patrons who cause harm. Here's a breakdown of the key points:
Seller Liability:
Colorado Revised Statutes § 44-3-801 outlines Dram Shop liability in the state.
This law allows lawsuits against businesses that sell or serve alcoholic beverages to people who are visibly intoxicated and who then cause injury or death to themselves or others due to that intoxication.
Visible Intoxication:
Similar to other states, the law hinges on proving the establishment served alcohol to a patron who exhibited clear signs of intoxication. This could include slurred speech, difficulty walking, or incoherent behavior.
Harm Caused:
The intoxicated person must cause harm to themselves or others (such as a DUI accident or violent behavior) for Dram Shop Law to be applicable.
Social Host Liability:
Colorado's Dram Shop Law applies to licensed vendors of alcohol. However, the law also extends liability to social hosts in some situations.
Adults who knowingly provide alcohol to someone under 21 years old and that minor then causes harm can be held liable under the law.
Here's a table summarizing the key points:
Scenario Liability under Colorado Dram Shop Law
Bar serves alcohol to a visibly intoxicated patron who causes a DUI accident Potentially Yes
Restaurant serves multiple drinks to someone who gets in a fight with another patron Potentially Yes
Person provides alcohol at a party to a friend who is visibly intoxicated and later drives home and crashes Not Likely (unless the friend is underage)
