Iowa City Personal Injury Law Firm Helping Victims of Drunk Driving Accidents
In Iowa, establishments that sell and serve alcohol are required by law to stop serving patrons who are near intoxication or who are already intoxicated.
These liquor liability rules — which are called "dram shop liability" — are meant to protect public safety. When bars, restaurants and taverns continue to serve drunken people, those people can become drunk drivers. Unfortunately, innocent people often pay the price.
At the Martin Diaz Law Firm in Iowa City, Iowa, our personal injury attorneys have been helping people in drunk driving and dram shop liability cases since 1996. We strive to take care of every client and handle cases efficiently so you can move forward with your life after an accident. Contact us today for a free initial consultation.

Iowa's dram shop liability statute holds bars and restaurants responsible if they serve people to intoxication, or when it is apparent they are already intoxicated, should those people go on to injure someone while still drunk. The statute does not apply to liquor stores or individuals serving alcohol in private homes.
If an intoxicated person injured you after being served alcohol at a bar or restaurant, that establishment may be legally responsible. This is true whether your injuries were caused by drunk driving, violence, or another cause.
People who can sue under dram shop liability statutes include people injured by a drunk person, but also family members of drunken people who have died.
