Drunk Driving Accidents

Even an auto accident that does not involve alcohol can cause victims pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and damage to their property. However, drunk driving accidents have a particularly lasting effect on victims and their families. Drivers who choose to drive while drunk endanger other motorists, their passengers, and pedestrians, and they often destroy the lives of innocent victims because they have made the grossly negligent decision to get behind the wheel of a car or truck. Our attorneys help victims hold these wrongdoers accountable for their actions.

Determining liability in drunk driving accidents requires proof that the person driving the vehicle was legally intoxicated in Pennsylvania, this means that the driver had a blood alcohol content, or BAC, of .08 or higher. When it can be shown that a driver reached this threshold, or even approached it, a drunk driving auto accident lawyer at our firm will be able to show that the driver's impairment affected his or her judgment and reaction time, and our lawyer will likely be able to achieve full compensation for victims of an accident caused by the driver. Victims of drunk driving accidents may be entitled to compensation for:

• Medical bills
• Property damage
• Loss of income
• Pain and suffering
• Loss of companionship and income (in the case of wrongful death)
