They have handled thousands of DUI matters and have a thorough understanding of all of the DUI issues as well as all of the Personal Injury issues that would likely arise in your case.

VICTIMS’ RIGHTS

If you or a member of your family has been injured or killed by a drunk driver, you have rights.  Victims and their survivors can recover damages from drunk drivers for numerous reasons, including:

  • Medical bills
  • Pain and suffering
  • Monetary damages (such as damage to their vehicle)
  • Lost wages
  • Wrongful death
  • Punitive damages

Additionally, the person, or social hose, who served alcohol to the drunk driver can sometimes be held responsible in addition to the driver himself under the Pennsylvania Dram Shop Statute or Social Host Law if the drunk driver was either visibly intoxicated or a minor.

DRAM SHOP LIABILITY

In Pennsylvania, it’s not always the intoxicated driver who is civilly liable for the damages he or she causes. The name of that legal doctrine is “Dram Shop Law.” A business or even another person who gives alcohol to a visibly intoxicated person is also legally responsible for the damages that the person subsequently causes. The Dram Shop Law could apply when one furnishes alcohol to a minor, serves alcohol after an establishment closes, or serves alcohol without a valid license.
