In Texas dram shop cases, pursuing claims against both the establishment and the individual bartender can be strategic for several reasons. When bars or restaurants serve alcohol to visibly intoxicated patrons who later cause accidents, both the business and the server may share liability.
Taking action against both parties increases the likelihood of full compensation for your injuries. Additionally, this approach can lead to improved safety practices in establishments and better training for servers, potentially preventing future incidents. Texas law provides specific provisions for holding alcohol providers accountable when their negligent service leads to injuries.
Remember: Every personal injury case is unique, and these answers provide general guidance rather than specific legal advice. For detailed information about your situation, consult with a qualified personal injury attorney who can evaluate the specific circumstances of your case.
