Additional Info: Virginia is one of the few states that does **not** have a Dram Shop Law. This means there is no statute that specifically allows lawsuits against establishments that sell or serve alcohol to intoxicated patrons who then cause harm.
Here's a breakdown of what this means:
* **No Liability for Serving to Intoxicated Adults:** In Virginia, bars, restaurants, and liquor stores generally cannot be held liable simply for serving alcohol to someone who later becomes intoxicated and causes harm.
* **Focus on Individual Responsibility:** Virginia law places the responsibility for alcohol-related incidents on the intoxicated person, not the establishment that served the alcohol.
**Exception: Selling to Minors**
The one exception to this rule is selling or serving alcohol to someone under the age of 21. It is illegal to do so and the establishment can be held liable if the minor gets intoxicated and causes harm.
**Limited Options for Those Harmed by Intoxicated People**
If you are injured by someone who was intoxicated after consuming alcohol at a bar or restaurant in Virginia, your options are limited. Here are two possibilities:
* **Suing the Intoxicated Person:** You can sue the intoxicated person directly for causing harm. However, depending on their financial situation, collecting compensation might be difficult.
* **Other Avenues Depending on Circumstances:** In specific situations, there might be other legal avenues to pursue depending on the circumstances of the case. Consulting with an attorney specializing in personal injury is recommended to explore these possibilities.
**Important to Note:**
* Dram Shop laws can vary by state. Even neighboring states like Maryland and DC have Dram Shop Laws, so it's important to understand the specific laws where the incident occurred.
* Consulting with an attorney is crucial because of the absence of Dram Shop Laws in Virginia. They can evaluate your situation and advise you on the legal options available in your specific case.
