Dram Shop Law The diminishing number of lawsuits can be attributed to the changes the 1995 Texas legislature passed regarding dram shop law. One of the most recent changes to dram shop law is the alteration of joint and several liability, which makes any party named in a lawsuit liable for the entire judgment. Under the new law, in order for the plaintiff to collect the entire amount from a bar or restaurant, a jury must find the bar or restaurant at least 51 percent responsible for the accident. |

 Each state has its own workers' compensation laws to handle claims from employees who are injured on the job. These laws are strict liability - fault and negligence by the employer need not be established in order to collect benefits. However, the injury or illness has to be incurred in the course of employment in order for the workers' compensation system to provide benefits to the injured worker. Since workers' compensation law imposes strict liability on employers, it is the exclusive remedy for an employee's injuries or illnesses arising out of the course of employment. Workers' compensation insurance is typically required by the state for every employee - although state law may provide for specific exemptions for officers/owners, small companies (those with three/four/five or fewer employees), domestic workers, farm hands, and independent contractors. |
