Providing expert witness analysis and testimony for plaintiff and defense attorneys in Nashville, Tennessee handling slip and fall cases where alcohol service, intoxication, and venue conditions are contributing factors.
My expert opinions assist attorneys in evaluating whether venue operators accounted for alcohol-related impairment, maintained safe conditions, and responded appropriately to foreseeable hazards.
I am retained in cases where alcohol service is a central factor, including those involving bars, nightclubs, music venues, and entertainment properties. Common areas of evaluation include:
Alcohol-related impairment and balance issues
Floor conditions and slip resistance
Spills, wet surfaces, and liquid contamination
Staff monitoring and hazard response times
Management oversight and inspection schedules
Nashville’s landscape creates elevated risks due to high alcohol consumption, dense foot traffic, and late-night operations. These local factors frequently involve:
High-volume bar districts and standing-room music venues
Rooftop and multi-level venues with varied surface transitions
Low-light environments designed for ambiance
Alcohol spills in high-traffic corridors
These cases often depend on a detailed evidence review to establish conditions at the exact time of the incident. I conduct comprehensive analyses of:
Surveillance video and time-stamped footage
Maintenance, cleaning, and inspection logs
Incident reports and staff assignments
Correlation of video evidence with operational safety practices
If you are an attorney handling a case involving dram shop liability, alcohol overservice, security negligence, or premises liability in Nashville, contact Ryan Dahlstrom and Preston Rideout for a confidential preliminary case evaluation.
