Fighting For Those Who Have Been Injured By Drunk drivers
The damage caused by drunk driving accidents can be tragic. Survivors often report extensive emotional trauma on top of their physical injuries. Despite the devastating effects, drunk driving accidents remain one of the most common causes of injury and deathnon roadways in Pennsylvania and throughout the United States. On average, someone is injured by a drunk driver every two minutes. Those who choose to drive while under the influence of alcohol are negligent and need to be held accountable for their reckless actions. While a drunk driver may be charged criminally, this does nothing to compensate the person he or she injured. Thankfully, civil remedies are available, but compensation is not automatic. It is extremely important for drunk driving victims to retain a qualified attorney for help pursuing a fair recovery to cover their medical bills, damaged property, lost wages, and other damages.

Cases involving drunk drivers often have a multitude of contributing factors. With help from our skilled legal team, we can help you hold the appropriate parties accountable for your injuries. Those who may be held accountable for drunk driving accidents may include the following:- Drivers: The most obvious party would be the drivers themselves, who choose to drive their vehicles even after consuming too much alcohol.
- Hosts: If a host serves alcohol to a minor who becomes involved in a drunk driving accident, the host may be held responsible in part for the damages.
- Restaurant Staff/Owners: If bar or restaurant staff continue serving alcohol to someone who appears to be intoxicated, they may be held liable for injuries in a drunk driving accident.
Common Injuries in Drunk Driving Accidents
The injuries sustained in DUI accidents are often severe due to the reckless nature of impaired driving. Common injuries include:- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI): Brain injuries can occur in high-impact collisions, leading to long-term cognitive, emotional, and physical challenges.
- Spinal cord injuries: Harm to the spinal cord could result in partial or full paralysis, requiring lifelong medical care and support.
- Broken bones: Fractures are common in DUI accidents, especially in high-speed crashes, and may require extensive surgery and rehabilitation.
- Internal injuries: Damage to internal organs, like the liver, lungs, or kidneys, can be life-threatening and may not be immediately apparent after the accident.
- Burn injuries: In cases where vehicles catch fire, victims may suffer severe burns that require painful treatments and surgeries.
- Soft tissue injuries: Whiplash and other soft tissue injuries can cause chronic pain and mobility issues long after the accident.
- Lacerations and bruising: Victims may suffer deep cuts or bruises from the impact, requiring stitches and leaving permanent scars. The medical costs that are associated with these injuries can quickly become overwhelming, especially if long-term care or rehabilitation is necessary.

Do You Have a Case Against the Drunk Driver?
Never assume things are hopeless–you won’t know anything for certain without speaking with an attorney. Cases which seem unlikely to win often go in favor of the victim. Juries are more likely to side with a victim when enough evidence is presented that the driver was intoxicated at the time of the accident. It also doesn’t necessarily matter if the driver had their DUI dismissed or acquitted; this will be a criminal case, and burden of proof works a little differently than a civil case. The drunk driver does not have to be convicted for you to receive a settlement. Do you have a case after your recent accident with a drunk driver in Pennsylvania?
