Under Georgia law, it’s well known that bars and restaurants can be held responsible if they serve alcohol to someone who then causes a drunk driving accident. But did you know that if you host a party or event at your home and one of your guests drinks too much and injures someone in a crash, you could also be held liable?
The key factor is whether it can be shown that the party host knowingly served alcohol to someone who would soon be driving. Georgia courts interpret the terms “knowingly” and “soon” quite broadly in these cases.
Because of this, party hosts should exercise caution when serving alcohol to guests, especially if they might be driving afterward.
