The Illinois Liquor Control Act of 1934
[235 ILCS 5/6-21(a)] requires the Illinois Comptroller to
determine each year the liability limits for causes of action
brought under the Act in accordance with the consumer price
index-u (CPI-U) during the preceding 12-month calendar year.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United
States Department of Labor, the CPI-U increased 2.96% during
the preceding calendar year. Based upon the previous determinations,
the 2012 Dram Shop Liability Limits have been adjusted as
follows:
- For causes of action involving persons injured or killed
on or after January 20, 2012, the judgment or recovery under
the Liquor Control Act of 1934 for injury to the person
shall not exceed $62,961.47 for each person incurring damages;
- For causes of action involving persons incurring property
damage on or after January 20, 2012, the judgment or recovery
under the Liquor Control Act of 1934 for property of any
person shall not exceed $62,961.47 for each person incurring
damages; and
- For causes of action under the Liquor Control Act of
1934 for either loss of means of support or loss of society
