Most establishments that sell alcohol in South Carolina are required to carry $1 million in liability insurance in case their negligence leads to a tragic incident, such as a drunk driving crash. Even if you get all available compensation from the drunk driver, you might still be able to sue the bar for 100 percent of your damages under South Carolina law.
Does South Carolina Have a Social Host Law?
Social host laws apply to people who serve alcohol at parties and in private homes. South Carolina’s social host law only applies in situations where a host served a guest who was under the legal drinking age. So, if you were injured by an underage drunk driver who was served alcohol by—or allowed to drink in the home of—an adult, that host could be held liable for your damages as well.
