§ 11-100. Compensation for injury or damage caused by the intoxication

of a person under the age of twenty-one years. 1. Any person who shall

be injured in person, property, means of support or otherwise, by reason

of the intoxication or impairment of ability of any person under the age

of twenty-one years, whether resulting in his death or not, shall have a

right of action to recover actual damages against any person who

knowingly causes such intoxication or impairment of ability by

unlawfully furnishing to or unlawfully assisting in procuring alcoholic

beverages for such person with knowledge or reasonable cause to believe

that such person was under the age of twenty-one years.

2. In case of the death of either party, the action or right of action

established by the provisions of this section shall survive to or

against his or her executor or administrator, and the amount so

recovered by either a husband, wife or child shall be his or her sole

and separate property.

3. Such action may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction.

4. In any case where parents shall be entitled to such damages, either

of such parents may bring an action therefor; but that recovery by

either one of such parties shall constitute a bar to suit brought by the

other.
