Leveling the Field between Injured Iowans and Insurance Companies.

What is a dramshop claim?

 

A: Basically it is a claim against a person or business that has a liquor license who serves too much alcohol to a person which results in injury or death.  However, there are very specific legal requirements that must be met and several exceptions.  The specifics are set out in Iowa Code § 123.92 and the cases that have interpreted it.  Iowa has a Dramshop law, but many states like Nebraska do not.  Keep in mind as discussed below there are very short and specific time limits from providing written notice to the bar or liquor license holder under Iowa's Dramshop laws.
