Sources of Compensation
People injured by drunk or drug-influenced truck drivers in Massachusetts have the ability to file lawsuits under the Commonwealth’s dram shop laws which hold third parties liable for the injuries caused by drunk drivers. These laws pertain to bars, taverns, restaurants, clubs and other establishments that serve obviously intoxicated persons. This is in addition to compensation that can be obtained from the insurance policies held by truck drivers and trucking companies.
