Damages for selling liquor to an intoxicated person. Every husband, wife, child, parent, guardian, employer, or other person who is injured in person, or property, or means of support by any intoxicated person, or in consequence of the intoxication of any person, has a right of action, in his or her name, against any person who, by selling or giving away intoxicating liquors to any habitually intoxicated person or person with an alcohol use disorder, causes the intoxication, in whole or in part, of such habitually intoxicated person or person with an alcohol use disorder; and all damages recovered by a minor pursuant to this section must be paid either to the minor or to his or her parent, guardian, or next friend, as the court directs
The
unlawful sale or giving away of intoxicating liquors works a forfeiture of all rights of the lessee
or tenant under any lease or contract of rent upon the premises. Liability must not accrue against
any such person as provided unless the husband, wife, child, parent, guardian, or employer first,
by written or printed notice, has notified such person, or his or her agents or employees, not to
sell or give away any intoxicating liquors to any habitually intoxicated person or person with an
alcohol use disorder.
