Liability can attach to "social hosts" as well. A social host is an individual who serves alcoholic beverages in a social setting, such as a home or a party, or as where an employer serves alcoholic beverages at a company. The social host is not required to make sure that no one is consuming more alcohol than they can handle unless the host can reasonably be aware of a problem and prevent it. A social host is not held liable unless a reasonable person under the same or similar circumstances should know that the person served is already too drunk to drive.
In all drunk driver cases it is essential that measures be taken promptly to preserve evidence, investigate the accident in question,
and to enable physicians or other expert witnesses to thoroughly evaluate any injuries. If you or a loved one is a victim of an automobile
accident,

compensation for your injuries,
