Liability in Your Rhode Island Drunk Driving Accident Victim Case

Drunk driving accidents can be especially devastating, and you may wonder who you can look to for fair compensation. Under Rhode Island dram shop laws, the following factors affect who can be held liable in your case:

  • Whether the vendor knew a particular person to have a habit of drinking in excess
  • On what premises the driver became intoxicated—the server of one bar cannot be held liable for the serving practices of another
  • Whether the driver’s behavior, appearance, or speech would identify him as drunk
  • Whether a vendor actively encouraged an unsafe intake of alcohol
