A dram shop is an old-fashioned way of describing an establishment that would sell alcohol by the dram, or 1/8 of an ounce.

So, yes, a dram shop is the same thing as a bar. Ohio's Dram Shop Law allows you to sue a place that served alcohol to someone who injured you while they were intoxicated.

Dram shop claims aren't just for drunk driving incidents. It covers injuries from assault and battery, shootings, or even hit-and-runs.

To win an off-premises dram shop case in Ohio, we need to show two important things:

first, that the vendor knowingly sold alcohol to someone who was visibly intoxicated; second, that this intoxication directly caused the injury, death, or property damage.

For instance, if a drunk driver caused an accident shortly after being over-served, we would connect those events. If the police were involved, this can be proved with sobriety or blood tests.

If the police were not called, you'll need other proof, like video from the bar or receipts. Bars often delete this evidence in as little as two weeks, so acting quickly is crucial to preserve any evidence.

Without it, proving your injury was caused by someone who over-drank at that specific place becomes incredibly difficult. You only have two years to file a claim under the Ohio Dram Shop Act,
