Florida law allows an injured person a cause of action against an establishment serving alcoholic beverages if the establishment either:
-
serves alcoholic beverages to a minor;
-
serves alcoholic beverages to a person they know, or should have known, to be habitually addicted to alcohol,
and due to being intoxicated the intoxicated person causes injury to him or herself or others. In other words, the intoxicated individual him/herself has a cause of action against the establishment for injuries caused him/herself. Additionally, anyone injured by the intoxicated person by reason of the intoxication also has a cause of action against the establishment. Florida law also specifically provides that the owners of a home who knowingly serve a minor or allow alcoholic beverages to be consumed by a minor is liable to others for the injuries resulting from the actions of the intoxicated minor.
