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 death on 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.

If you’ve been injured by an intoxicated driver, the time is now to contact Metzger Wickersham. Contact us online or call our Pennsylvania drunk driving accident lawyer at (888) 286-2850 to get started.

Pennsylvania Liability for Drunk Driving Accidents

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.

Our Pennsylvania DUI accident lawyers can investigate the circumstances surrounding your case and hold the guilty party or parties liable for damages.

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.

Our Pennsylvania DUI accident lawyers can work with medical experts to completely understand the extent of your injuries and ensure you receive compensation that covers both current and future medical needs.

What Damages Could Be Recovered in a Drunk Driving Accident Claim?

Don't let another minute pass before you seek legal representation for your drunk driving accident. If you or a loved one have been injured in an accident involving a drunk driver, you may be able to seek compensation for:

  • Medical expenses
  • Pain and suffering
  • Repair to property damage
  • Loss of time & money from work
  • Other accident-related costs

You may even be entitled to compensation from the supplier of the alcohol.

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.
