After a DUI

An individual convicted of drunk driving most often has to deal with some indirect consequences of the offense even after serving a sentence or complying with other penalties (such as DUI traffic school). For example, virtually everyone convicted of a DUI ends up paying much higher automobile insurance premiums. This section covers a range of topics of interest to DUI offenders after their case has been resolved, such as the liability of establishments that serve alcohol encoded in so-called "dram shop laws," the legality of considering DUI convictions in pre-employment background checks, and other related matters.
