Florida Dram Shop, Social Host Laws
Under Florida's dram shop laws, parties injured by a drunk driver may also seek monetary damages from the restaurant, bar or social host responsible for serving the alcohol. In many cases, this includes passengers riding with the DUI driver when the accident occurred.
Many DUI Accidents Involve an Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist
A high percentage of DUI accidents in Florida involve drunk drivers who do not carry sufficient insurance, or have no auto insurance at all. If you were injured in an accident with an uninsured motorist, you will be filing an insurance claim against your own UM/UIM policy. You can expect your insurance company to treat you as a hostile claimant. After all, you are trying to get money from them. Take some time to schedule a free consultation with us to get clear answers about what to expect and how to handle your claim. We will explain the process and are ready to handle everything to make sure you receive maximum monetary damages for your losses.
