Question

When driving away from the establishment Steven's car strikes Andrea's vehicle and Andrea is injured. If it is alleged a violation related to dram shop legislation occurred in this scenario, who is the third party?

A. Andrea
B. Dennis
C. Lani
D. Steven

Answer 1

In a situation relating to dram shop legislation, Andrea is the third party as she was harmed by the actions that followed the violation of these laws. The correct option is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the context of a scenario involving potential dram shop legislation violation, the third party is typically the individual or entity who suffers harm as a result of the legislation's breach, but was not directly involved in the transaction in question.

In this case, where Steven was served five drinks by Lani at Dennis's establishment and subsequently caused a car accident that injured Andrea, Andrea would be considered the third party.

She was not directly involved in the transaction of the drinks, but was harmed as a consequence of the over-service and potential intoxication of Steven. The correct option is A.
