You should definitely consult with an attorney to preserve your rights. You have a claim under Florida law, but there are some tricky issues. If you e-mail me, I would be happy to discuss the situation further and to recommend an attorney in your area.

I would strongly encourage you to contact a local personal Injury attorney. You should not settle with the drivers insurance carrier until any Release or other paper work is reviewed. Sometimes a release of the driver will extinguish a claim against a third party. Good Luck.

Re: Bar negligent in serving alcohol to a drunk person - killing my son

There is a law called the Dramshop Act which holds tavern keepers vicariously liable for the injuries which their drunk patrons cause...when a few conditions are met. This is something you need to discuss with an attorney, I will be more than happy to get more of the facts from you if you want.
