It is very likely that your wife has a cause of action against the establishmet for her injuries. Under Illinois’ dram shop law, plaintiffs can recover after demonstrating: 1) proof of sale of alcohol to the patron; (2) injuries sustained by the patron; (3) proximate cause between the alcohol sale and intoxication; and (4) that intoxication was at least one cause of the third party damages. It would be wise for her to consult an attorney to discuss the specififcs of the incident.

While there may be a dram shop cause of action against the facility, it would also depend upon the type of situation and circumstances of her injury and the service of alcohol at the event.
