Drunken Driving Accidents

Drunk-driving related accidents cause suffering.  Family and loved ones are injured or killed every year as a result of DUI-related accidents.  Accident victims in alcohol-related crashes can sustain a variety of injuries including bruising, cuts, broken bones, scars, spinal cord injuries (paralysis), brain injuries, and in some cases even fatal injuries. Alcohol-related injuries can result in the need for surgery, rehabilitation, and/or physical therapy.

Under the New DUI Law in Pennsylvania, drivers who register a blood alcohol level (BAC) of .08 are now considered to be legally intoxicated.  Driver under 21 are legally intoxicated if their BAC is .02 are higher.  If you or a loved one has been injured as a result of alcohol-related crashes, you may also have a claim against a restaurant or bar that served the drunk driver who caused their accidents. Additionally Pennsylvania has a Social Host Liability law that allows you to sue an adult who has served alcohol to minor, making them responsible for any injuries sustained.  Contact us for more information about Dram Shop and Social Host Liability laws in Pennsylvania.
