Drunk Driving Accidents

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 32 percent of all traffic deaths in the United States were the result of drunk driving. Taking legal action against drunk drivers punishes those who put the lives of others at risk. It also makes the roads safer for everyone. The Finz firm attorneys are committed to helping people obtain justice and compensation for the losses they have suffered due to drunk driving accidents.

Dram Shop Laws

In New York, if the owner of a bar or restaurant serves alcohol to a person who is obviously intoxicated and that person goes on to injure another person in a car accident, the owner of the establishment can be held responsible for the accident victim's injuries. This is known as dram shop liability. The Finz firm lawyers are well versed in dram shop laws and know how to identify all liable parties in drunk driving accident cases.
