Automobile Accidents Involving Alcohol and Dram Shop Liability
Drivers who are operating under the influence of drugs or alcohol pose a significant threat to every other person on the road. Every year in Pennsylvania and across the United States, thousands of people are injured and killed as the result of drunk driving accidents. When an accident occurs, it is important to hold drunk drivers accountable for their actions, as well as bars, restaurants and other establishments that may have over-served those drivers.

Our attorneys believe that drunk driving should always be taken seriously and that innocent people should not have to suffer for the negligence of others.

Dram Shop and Liquor Liability
After a drunk driving accident, many factors will affect the benefits a victim may receive. One of those factors is known as dram shop liability, and applies to anyone who serves alcohol to a person who is obviously intoxicated. The law may establish liability for restaurants, bars, sales meetings, golf courses and even homeowners (as social hosts) who provide alcohol to people who are later involved in drunk driving accidents.
In many drunk driving accidents, the intoxicated drivers are arrested for DUIs and other alcohol-related criminal offenses. We use this to our advantage by looking at police reports and other information when building our case. Our lawyers are experienced at investigating accidents and demonstrating the facts to show the damages the victim has suffered — this may also include punitive damages.
