Colorado Dram Shop Laws

The majority of states, including Colorado, have established dram shop liability laws. Dram shop law allows injured victims to not only hold drunk drivers accountable for their actions but also restaurants, bars, clubs and any other type of drinking establishments that served the intoxicated driver. This includes homeowners as well. If the home or business served to a visibly intoxicated person or a minor, then they can be held liable. We will examine the facts of your case to see if dram shop liability laws apply.

Punitive Damages

In some cases, particularly in drunk driving accidents, victims can seek punitive damages. In circumstances of fraud, malice or willful or wanton conduct, victims can seek punitive damages. This must be done after the initial discovery process, by filing a motion to amend the complaint to add a claim for punitive damages.

The Opportunity to Be Heard

Jennifer also follows through on any criminal charges a drunk driver may be facing, by contacting the defendant's personal criminal defense attorney. She keeps up-to-speed with any and all developments in the criminal case and, if possible, gives her clients the change to testify at a defendant's sentencing hearing. She believes in giving her clients the chance and opportunity to be heard on all levels, in order to get as much closure possible from a tragic event.
