As a host, you need to be aware of whether a guest is drinking too much, especially if that person is going to get behind the wheel of a vehicle. In addition, you need to be concerned with a guest who might be injured in a fall or could be injured in an assault with another guest. If the guest is intoxicated at the time of the incident, you could be liable. Most lawsuits involving the service of alcohol to someone who then causes an injury or is injured usually are against restaurants, bars, or other places that serve alcohol to customers. The fact that you are a private host in your home may not get you out of the liability for damages that an intoxicated guest causes. For example, if you continue to serve alcoholic beverages to someone who is evidently intoxicated, and that person crashes his/her car into another vehicle, the occupants of the other vehicle might sue you for damages. Because DUI accident cases can have substantial damages because of severe injuries, the victims often look for third parties to hold liable to increase the amount of money they can recover for damages. The court would determine if you are liable based on the facts of the case and the current laws regarding social liability. However, it is not worth taking the risk of being sued because another person negligently drove a vehicle while intoxicated. It is better to take steps to prevent the scenario from happening.
