200K Settlement under Dram Shop Act

September 27th 2024

Our office settled a Dram Shop and Negligence action at mediation against a Queens bar and patron when the bartender served alcohol to that visibly intoxicated patron who later caused our client injuries in a car accident. Plaintiff, a 32-year-old female, was out with friends, all of whom were heavily drinking. A witness who was at the bar testified that the male patron and driver of the vehicle couldn’t even stand up yet was served drinks. Immediately thereafter, the patron, two of his friends and Plaintiff got into a vehicle which then crashed into parked cars causing Plaintiff to get a serious cut and now scar across her forehead. Addabbo & Greenberg continues to serve the community and recover for those injured by the negligence of others.
