Financial Compensation For Victims Hit By Drunk Drivers

Attorney contributor Guy D'Andrea represents people who have been injured in drunk driving accidents in Pennsylvania and helps them recover the financial compensation they deserve. Below Brian shares some of his insight on the legal rights of these victims:

Victims injured by drunk drivers may have grounds for a personal injury lawsuit against the driver. However, in some states including Pennsylvania, these victims and their families may be able to file a lawsuit against an alcohol vendor who served the drunk driver prior to the crash.

Pennsylvania is one of the many states with dram shop laws that allow third-party vendors to be held liable for serving someone alcohol before a crash. Pennsylvania’s dram-shop law states that an alcohol vendor can be held liable for injuries caused by a patron if:

• the customer was visibly over-intoxicated,
• or the customer was under the legal drinking age of 21 years old and the vendor was aware.
