New Jersey's Dram Shop Liability

Under New Jersey’s Licensed Alcoholic Beverage Server Liability Act, bars, restaurants, and licensed alcohol vendors can be held civilly liable when they serve alcohol to a visibly intoxicated person who then causes an accident. If the drunk driver who injured you was overserved at an Elmwood Park or Bergen County establishment before the crash, Cellino Law will investigate that avenue of liability alongside the direct claim against the driver. Dram Shop claims can significantly increase the total compensation available to you.

Compensation Available in Drunk Driving Cases

• All medical expenses
• Future medical costs
• Lost wages and earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Punitive damages for particularly reckless conduct
• Wrongful death damages for surviving family members

New Jersey No-Fault Law and DWI Claims

New Jersey operates under a no-fault insurance system. Your own Personal Injury Protection coverage pays initial medical expenses and a portion of lost wages regardless of fault. If your injuries meet the threshold for your tort election — Limited Tort or Full Tort — Cellino Law will pursue additional compensation including pain and suffering directly from the at-fault party. In drunk driving cases, the at-fault driver’s reckless conduct may also support punitive damages in addition to compensatory recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a DWI arrest or conviction help my civil case?

Yes. A DWI arrest, blood alcohol test results, field sobriety test failures, and any subsequent conviction are powerful evidence in your civil personal injury claim. Cellino Law will coordinate the use of criminal case evidence to strengthen your civil claim.

What if the drunk driver had minimum insurance coverage?

When the at-fault driver’s coverage is insufficient, Cellino Law will pursue Dram Shop liability, UM/UIM coverage under your own policy, and any other applicable insurance to maximize your recovery.

How long do I have to file a drunk driving accident claim in New Jersey?

New Jersey’s statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years from the date of the accident. Missing this deadline permanently eliminates your right to seek compensation. Contact Cellino Law promptly to protect your rights.
