Investigate car wrecks promptly

Prompt investigation of a car wreck involving serious injury or wrongful death is a must.  Frequently alcohol is involved in car wrecks and bars are often the source of the alcohol.  Dram shop laws are a way of holding bar owners who serve alcohol to minors or intoxicated persons responsible for the injuries caused by their drunken patrons.  The sooner you launch an investigation the more likely you are to determine where and when the driver got drunk.  Witnesses interviewed promptly after the wreck are frequently more willing to talk than after having days – and perhaps discouragement – to think about getting involved.
