Decisions have consequences and the decision to over-serve a patron who then causes injuries is addressable by law. At Martin Jean & Jackson, we have built our firm into Oklahoma’s premier law firm by helping clients understand and protect their rights. Our Oklahoma dram shop attorneys can do the same for you.

Our team goes beyond the run-of-the-mill legal representation because we want our clients to view them as “their” lawyers. If you have been seriously injured in an incident with an intoxicated person, talk to our team immediately to discuss who can be held liable. You may be owed compensation for your medical bills and other damages.

Our dram shop and liquor liability practice represents clients injured in circumstances involving:

  • The serving of alcohol to a person who appears intoxicated
  • Underage drinking
  • Drunk driving accidents
  • Bartenders
  • Restaurants
  • And other situations

We Advise Clients of Their Legal Options

We remain committed to helping clients achieve maximum results for their case. We apprise our clients of all their legal options, including negotiation, settlement, litigation, trial, and more. We assess each case and devise a legal strategy to fit the specific situations and goals of each client.

Relying on the recognized legal judgment that our attorneys have honed in more than 100 years of combined experience in the practice of law, our clients make decisions confidently, even in difficult situations. They know that our Oklahoma dram shop lawyers have recovered more than a half a billion dollars on behalf of more than 15,000 clients.

Statute of Limitations on Dram Shop Claims

After a drunk driver causes an accident in Oklahoma, a two-year statute of limitations begins on the same day as that crash. The reason why the driver was drunk does not change that time limit. With that said, dram shop claims filed in Oklahoma are still subjected to that same two-year statute of limitations.

When the statute of limitations expires, you can technically still file an injury claim against the bar or restaurant who provided too much alcohol to the person who crashed into you. However, the defendant can ask the court to dismiss your claim on the grounds of the expired statute, and the court is almost guaranteed to agree with them. There are very rare circumstances in which a court would override the statute of limitations.
