Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Due to the statute of limitations, the victims of a drunk driving or other alcohol-related incident may not be able to sue after a certain amount of time has passed, usually between one and six years.
The precise amount of time under the statute of limitations depends on the state you work in. But don't count on the statute of limitations to prevent you or your employers from being sued - the victims of incidents stemming from intoxication often do not wait long to start talking to lawyers. It's much better to just follow all of the applicable liquor laws and avoid these situations altogether.
