If you are an establishment serving alcohol and you allow your customer to get and to leave drunk, perhaps allowing them to drive off, resulting in an accident and/or injury,  you may have to face a very costly statutory DRAM Shop Act violation.  Under Dram Shop laws in Illinois the business and hence owner or owners  may be liable for up to $50,467.00 for property and personal injury damage and $61,682.00 for loss of means of support due to injury or death.  Typically, insurances may not cover such claims either.  A defense of such a cause of action wil run a business around $15,000.00.
