Our Mount Lebanon Drunk Driving Accident Attorneys Fight for Victims

Drunk driving remains one of the leading causes of serious crashes in Pennsylvania, and Mount Lebanon is no exception. Alcohol impairs coordination, judgment, and reaction time, turning a simple drive home into a devastating tragedy. Victims are often left facing painful injuries, emotional trauma, and financial stress.

At Berger and Green, our Mount Lebanon personal injury lawyers have seen the damage impaired drivers cause, and we know how to prove it. With over 40 years of experience, our team understands what it takes to build strong cases that hold drunk drivers accountable and help victims move forward.

How Berger and Green Can Help You

After a drunk driving crash, you shouldn’t have to face insurance companies, medical bills, or legal paperwork alone.

Our Mount Lebanon drunk driving accident lawyers handle every step so you can focus on healing.

We will:

• Prove the drunk driver’s fault
• Handle all communication with insurers
• Negotiate with insurers
• Evaluate your damages and fight for full compensation, in or out of court

At Berger and Green, we put our clients first. You’ll get open, frequent communication, personalized support, and a team dedicated to making the process as stress-free as possible.

We Take Cases With No Upfront Fees

We know that people often decide against getting legal help because they think they can’t afford it. To ensure that injured Pennsylvanians get the help they deserve, we take cases on a contingency fee basis. You don’t pay us anything to get started, and you only pay us if and when we win your case.

Our fee is a percentage of your final settlement or award that we will discuss before we get started.

How We Prove a Drunk Driver Caused Your Accident and Injuries

Once we take your case, our work begins immediately. Holding a drunk driver accountable takes skill, experience, and evidence. Our legal team builds each case with precision, investigating the crash and gathering the toxicology report and accident report from the Mount Lebanon Police Department, collecting police reports, obtaining surveillance footage, and interviewing witnesses who saw the driver’s behavior before the crash.

We can work with accident reconstruction experts to show exactly how another driver’s impairment led to your injuries. If a bar or restaurant overserved the driver, we can investigate potential dram shop liability as well.

At Berger and Green, you can Trust The Name You Know to uncover the truth and stand up to insurers who try to minimize your claim.

Recoverable Compensation After a Drunk Driving Accident

A drunk driving crash can impact every part of your life, physically, emotionally, and financially. You deserve compensation for what you’ve lost.

You may be able to recover:

• Medical expenses, such as hospital stays, surgeries, rehab, and future care
• Lost income, e.g., missed work and reduced earning potential
• Pain and suffering from your emotional and physical hardships
• Property damage, e.g., repairs or replacement for your vehicle

Our attorneys fight for the compensation you deserve so you can focus on rebuilding your life while we handle the rest.

What to Do After a Drunk Driving Accident

While our team builds your case and fights for fair compensation, there are also important steps you can take right after the crash to protect your rights.

1. Stay as calm as possible. We know you are likely angry that someone could be so reckless, but keeping your wits about you can help your case.
2. Call 911 right away. Get medical help for yourself and anyone injured.
3. Stay at the scene and wait for police to arrive. Make sure a report is filed and that officers test the other driver for alcohol.
4. Gather evidence if you can, e.g., photos, videos, and witness contact information.
5. Avoid speaking with insurers before you talk to a lawyer. Insurance companies may try to minimize your claim.
6. Contact Berger and Green. Our Mount Lebanon drunk driving accident attorneys are standing by. We offer free consultations, home visits, and hospital visits to make the process easier so you can focus on your health.

Taking these steps right away helps strengthen your claim — but remember, time is limited.

You Have a Limited Time to Take Action for a Drunk Driving Crash

Most personal injury victims have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit in Pennsylvania, per 42 Pa. C.S.A. § 5524. That might sound like plenty of time, but evidence can fade fast; witnesses forget details, police reports get misplaced, and insurers move on.

If you miss the deadline, you could lose your right to seek compensation entirely. The court may dismiss your case, and the drunk driver may never be held financially accountable.

At Berger and Green, our Mount Lebanon personal injury attorneys act quickly to preserve evidence, meet every deadline, and protect your rights from day one. With tens of thousands of clients served, we know how to move fast so you don’t lose your chance at justice.
