However, the state courts have upheld liability claims against liquor license holders (bars, liquor stores, etc) who serve alcohol to someone who is under 21 or already intoxicated.  Bars in South Carolina must carry at least one million dollars in liability insurance to pay out any claims arising from this type of liability. Because of this, victims of drunk driving accidents may pursue compensation from both the drunk driver's insurance company and any establishment serving the driver alcohol shortly before the accident.","@id":"https:\/\/www.mtllawfirm.com\/blog\/south-carolina-dram-shop-liability\/#Answer"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Answer","name":"Answer Question1","text":"Establishments that serve alcohol are responsible for the damage caused by a drunk driver they overserved or illegally served.
