South Carolina Dram Shop Liability

South Carolina has a law that requires a driver to carry minimum insurance liability limits of $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident.

However, in the event of a serious drunk driving car accident these liability limits are merely a drop in the bucket of the actual damages and pain and suffering inflicted on the injured person following a drunk driver negligence accident.

S.C. Dram Shop liability is the law that allows for a family or injury victim to recover damages against a bar, tavern, and restaurants. “Dram shop” is the old-fashioned term that refers to a purveyor of alcohol.

In many cases, a bar or restaurant may have over served the patron, may have had knowledge of the patron’s previous drunk driving charges, etc. This law allows the injury victims to recover the damages beyond the minimum South Carolina Liability Limits against the alcohol surveyor and many times the insurance limits can be quite high- into the Millions.
