Alcohol-related accidents are far too common in the St. Louis area. There have been many car accidents that resulted from people drinking too much, but there are other types of incidents that take place as well. A lot of people aren't aware of host liability laws, which can get them into serious legal trouble. 

What is Host Liability? 

Many states define host liability as being held accountable when alcohol has been given to minors. However, there are also states that hold hosts liable when someone has been permitted to drink excessively to the point of causing injury or harm. The host can be held responsible for any personal and property damages that resulted from the accident. 

The purpose behind host liability laws is to reduce the number of minors who are injured or who die because of alcohol-related accidents.
