Additional Info: Louisiana is one of the few exceptions when it comes to Dram Shop Laws in the United States. Unlike most states, Louisiana has a limited Dram Shop Law that offers very little recourse for those who want to sue a bar or restaurant that served alcohol to someone who later caused harm while intoxicated.
Here's a breakdown of the key point:
* **Limited Seller Liability:** Louisiana Revised Statutes § 9:2800.1 shields commercial alcohol vendors from liability in most situations. This means bars, restaurants, or liquor stores are generally not liable if they serve alcohol to a person of legal drinking age (21 or over) who later gets intoxicated and causes harm.
**Exceptions:**
There's a very narrow window for establishing Dram Shop liability in Louisiana, with only one main exception:
* **Serving Minors:** Selling or serving alcohol to someone under the legal drinking age (21 in Louisiana) is illegal. If a minor gets intoxicated and causes harm, the establishment that served them could be liable.
**Social Host Liability:**
Similar to seller liability, social hosts in Louisiana generally are not liable for serving alcohol to adults of legal drinking age who then cause harm while intoxicated. There can be some liability for social hosts who serve alcohol to minors.
**Importance of Consulting an Attorney:**
* If you believe an establishment might be liable for serving alcohol to someone who caused harm while intoxicated, consulting with an attorney specializing in personal injury is crucial due to the very limited Dram Shop Law in Louisiana.
* They can assess the specific circumstances of your situation and advise you on potential legal options outside of Dram Shop Law, such as focusing on possible exceptions or other avenues of lawsuits.
