Additional Info: Oklahoma has a Dram Shop Law that allows lawsuits against establishments that sell alcohol to intoxicated patrons who then cause harm. Here's a breakdown of the key points:
* **Seller Liability:** Oklahoma's Dram Shop Law is based on case law rather than a specific statute. Here's what it prohibits:
* **Selling to Minors:** Selling or serving alcoholic beverages to anyone under 21 years old is illegal and the establishment can be held liable if the minor gets intoxicated and causes harm.
* **Serving Visibly Intoxicated People:** The law applies to situations where a vendor serves alcohol to a person who is visibly intoxicated. This means someone exhibiting clear signs of intoxication such as slurred speech, stumbling, or incoherent behavior. If this person then causes harm due to their intoxication, the vendor could be held liable.
* **Focus on Knowledge:** Courts in Oklahoma consider whether the vendor knew or should have known that the patron was intoxicated when serving them alcohol.
**Social Host Liability:**
* Oklahoma has a specific law for social host liability related to alcohol:
* **Social Host Law:** Oklahoma Statute Title 37 § 241 makes social hosts who knowingly provide alcohol to someone under 21 liable for injuries or death caused by that minor's intoxication.
**Recent Development:**
* In 2023, the Oklahoma Supreme Court case MeGee v. El Patio revisited the parameters of Dram Shop Law in the state. The case involved a man who was served at least 17 drinks over 7 hours at a restaurant. The court's decision might influence future Dram Shop cases, potentially making it easier for plaintiffs to establish liability in situations of excessive serving.
Here's a table summarizing the key points:
| Scenario | Liability under Oklahoma Dram Shop Law |
|---|---|
| Bar serves alcohol to a visibly intoxicated patron who causes a DUI accident | Potentially Yes (if the bar knew or should have known about the intoxication) |
| Restaurant continues serving drinks to a guest who is clearly intoxicated and gets into a fight | Potentially Yes (if knowledge of intoxication can be proven) |
| Person provides alcohol at a party to a friend who is visibly intoxicated and later drives home and crashes | Not Likely (unless the friend is underage) |
**Important to Note:**
* Dram Shop cases can be complex. The specific circumstances, evidence available (such as receipts or witness statements), and the level of intoxication will all play a role in determining liability. The recent MeGee v. El Patio case might influence future rulings.
* Consulting with an attorney specializing in personal injury or Dram Shop Law is recommended if you believe you have a case under Oklahoma's Dram Shop Law. They can evaluate your situation and advise you on the legal options considering the evolving legal landscape.
