Damages for Injuries Caused by Drunk Drivers

In Pennsylvania, people who have been injured by a drunk driver, or who have lost a loved one in a drunk driving accident may be able to seek compensation for injuries and wrongful death from several sources including the drunk driver and possibly the establishment that served the alcohol. Bars, taverns, restaurants and others who illegally serve alcohol to obviously intoxicated customers can be held liable for damages resulting from the illegal sale of alcoholic beverages.

In addition, Pennsylvania residents who have chosen Limited Tort on their auto insurance may still be able to collect damages for pain and suffering for injuries sustained in an accident caused by a drunk driver. A DUI conviction is one of the few exceptions to the limited tort option. If a limited tort policy holder is hurt in an accident and the at-fault driver was convicted of driving under the influence, the limited tort restriction is lifted and the victim can file a legal claim for pain and suffering.

We have handled numerous drunk driving accident cases for injured clients across Pennsylvania.
