Delaware Social Host Liability Lawyer
It is widely understood that across the United States it is illegal to consume, purchase or possess alcohol if you are under the age of 21, with few exceptions. However, even when parents take care to protect their children and keep them from breaking the law, it is not guaranteed others will do the same.

Understanding Social Host Liability
When a young person goes to a party or gathering, social host liability laws hold the host accountable for ensuring that underage party attendees are not drinking. When a negligent host allows your child to drink and does not properly care for his or her safety, the consequences may include:
- Car accidents
- Alcohol poisoning
- Death
