Largest Dram Shop Verdict in NC History

Jan 01, 2012

OUTCOME: Verdict for the plaintiff

Jury verdict for young married couple struck by drunk driver who had just left a bar where he had been served more than 10 drinks in just over 2 hours. The jury verdict is believed to be the largest co ... ntested dram shop verdict in North Carolina. The highest pre-trial offer was $125,001. Hopefully, bars and restaurants in North Carolina will take notice of this verdict, properly train their employees as well as adopt and enforce responsible alcoholic beverage retailing practices. 2012: Mecklenburg County, NC

The Avvo Rating explained

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
