The Michigan Dram Shop Act (MCL 436.1801) is a law that allows victims of drunk driving accidents, including those involving motorcycles, to seek compensation from liquor establishments that unlawfully served visibly intoxicated patrons. If an establishment serves alcohol to someone who is noticeably intoxicated, and that person subsequently causes a motorcycle accident resulting in injuries or wrongful death, the establishment can be held legally responsible. This law empowers motorcycle accident victims and their families to pursue justice and fair compensation from negligent bars, restaurants, or other businesses that overserved alcohol. The Joseph Dedvukaj Firm, a renowned Michigan personal injury law firm with extensive experience in motorcycle accident cases, can guide clients through the complexities of the Dram Shop Act and fight tirelessly to secure the maximum compensation they deserve for their injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
