In Pennsylvania, if you are injured in an accident caused by a drunk driver, the law allows you to receive damages for pain and suffering as well as punitive damages. If a bar or restaurant violates Pennsylvania's dram shop law, the establishment can be deemed responsible for an accident caused by a patron. Pennsylvania law defines someone who drives with a blood alcohol level over the legal limit as under the influence, negligent, and liable for their injuries they cause.
Our injury lawyers know how to get victims of a drunk driving accident the money they need even if the injured person has the type of insurance that limits lawsuits. We have helped many people obtain compensation for pain and suffering, inconvenience, vehicle replacement costs, and other significant consequences of a drunk driving accident.
