I was involved in a car accident with a drunk driver who had just left a bar. Can I sue the bar?

You may sue the bar or the restaurant where the person became intoxicated if you can prove that the bar or restaurant served alcohol to a visibly intoxicated person.
In Rhode Island, it is important to determine early on whether or not that might be the case. That’s why you want to hire an attorney right away so they can get the records of the bar or restaurant before they disappear.
