Delaware Legislature Preparing To Revisit Dram Shop Liability

Here we go again. Representative Peterson is preparing to introduce limited dram shop liability for consideration. The legislation caps the liability at $250,000 but, as is usually the case, this creates a starting point where limits are eventually increased once it's decided by the powers that be that the current limit is too low.

A couple examples would be if a customer or visitor slips and falls due to either a slippery surface or uneven stairs, or if a customer's truck is damaged while being loaded by one of your forklifts. The organization's liability is usually based upon their supposed negligence. Let's face it, in today's legal climate the degree of care is just about always going to be in your lap and not due to a lack of care on the part of a customer/client. When doing an in depth exposure review, this area is usually the best place to start.
