Overview

Proving Impairment, Finding Liability, and Building Your Case

Today's impaired driving cases don't always fit the traditional DUI model. Marijuana, prescription drugs, and polysubstance impairment raise different proof issues, liability theories, and insurance questions than alcohol alone. This CLE program walks through how to handle these cases in practice: proving impairment, identifying who can be held liable, gathering critical evidence, and navigating the insurance and damages issues. Be ready for the next impaired driving case that walks through your door - register today!

  • Interpret BAC and THC test results and understand their evidentiary limits.
  • Build a civil case strategy that accounts for a parallel criminal proceeding.
  • Determine when bars, dispensaries, event venues, employers, and social hosts can be held liable.
  • Use targeted subpoenas and discovery strategies to secure critical evidence before it disappears.

Abbreviated Agenda

  1. Alcohol, Marijuana, Prescription Drugs, and Polysubstance Impairment: How Cases Differ
  2. Negligence Per Se vs. Evidence of Negligence
  3. The Criminal-Civil Case Overlap: Strategic Use of Convictions, Pleas, and Police Evidence
  4. BAC and THC Testing, Scientific Limitations, and Expert Issues
  5. Dram Shop and Social Host Liability
  6. Cannabis Retailer Liability
  7. Plaintiff's Comparative Fault / Own Impairment
  8. Preservation Letters, Subpoenas, and Discovery Tools for Bars, Dispensaries, and Event Venues
