Litigation Involving Serving Alcohol to Minors
Even though serving alcohol to minors is illegal, it regularly occurs in bars, restaurants, hotels, banquet halls, sporting arenas, private clubs, liquor stores, private homes, and college and university dorms. When minors who have consumed alcohol subsequently cause accidents that injure or kill themselves and others, the law states that the individuals and establishments providing the alcohol may be held liable for civil damages.
Arthur F. Licata, P.C. represents injured victims and surviving family members who have been harmed by the actions of underage drinkers. In 1996, Arthur F. Licata was the plaintiff's lawyer in a case of first impression in Massachusetts and a landmark decision throughout the U.S. In this case the court held that a bar or restaurant was liable for serving alcohol to a minor and the minor's intoxication even when the minor was not the direct purchaser of the alcohol. The minor received the alcohol by an adult intermediary.
Mr. Licata has more than 30 years of experience with complex tort litigation and is the firm's only attorney. And while there are no guarantees with litigation, this can give you the peace of mind that comes with knowing Mr. Licata himself, not an associate of lesser experience, will be the lawyer you speak with and the lawyer who prepares and presents your case.
Mr. Licata welcomes inquiries about his services and provides free initial consultations in personal injury matters. All cases are handled on a contingent fee basis; you pay no attorneys' fees unless the firm is able to obtain compensation on your behalf. The firm also routinely takes case referrals from other attorneys in the Boston area and throughout the New England states of Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, and New York. Additionally, the firm accepts referrals from across the nation.
