Drunk driving crashes often involve both criminal and civil proceedings. While the impaired driver may face criminal penalties such as fines or jail time, those outcomes do not cover your personal losses. A civil claim allows you to pursue financial recovery from the responsible driver. In some cases, others may also share responsibility. Under Pennsylvania’s dram shop laws, a bar, restaurant, or social host can be held liable if they served alcohol to a visibly intoxicated person who later caused a crash.
These claims require detailed evidence, but they can be critical in securing full compensation when multiple parties contributed to your injuries. Even when fault seems obvious, insurance companies often try to minimize payouts or shift blame to reduce what they owe. They may pressure you to settle before you know the full extent of your injuries or future medical costs.
An personal injury lawyer from Berger and Green can step in to protect your rights, handle every conversation with the insurer, and fight for the full compensation you deserve by:
While you focus on your health and recovery, we focus on building the strongest possible case. With over 40 years of experience helping accident victims across Pennsylvania, Berger and Green knows what it takes to get results.
After a serious crash, taking the right steps early can make a big difference in your recovery and your legal options. In Pennsylvania, Pa. C.S.A. § 5524 limits how long you have to take action. Generally, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. This deadline is known as the statute of limitations. Missing it could mean losing your right to seek compensation.
While two years may sound like plenty of time, building a strong case takes preparation and evidence. Witnesses can become harder to find, and insurance companies often act quickly to protect their interests. Acting early helps preserve important information and strengthens your claim. Simple actions can make a big difference in protecting your case, such as:
