A drunk driving accident is caused where one or more drivers were impaired by alcohol, an illegal drug, or controlled substance. In most cases, criminal charges will be filed. In addition, the victim of the accident may pursue civil damages and claims for his or her injuries. If you or your loved one was struck by an impaired or drunk driver, you know the devastation caused by another’s negligence and reckless behavior. At Berger and Green, we are committed to providing exceptional and effective legal representation to the families and victims of drunk driving accidents. You and your family deserve the maximum compensation for your losses resulting from a drunk driving accident.
We will contact private investigators, interview witnesses, visit the accident scene, review police reports, and consult forensic and medical experts to build your case against a drunk-driver.
If you or a loved one was injured, do not wait to contact our Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, drunk driving accidents law firm. We are experienced with all of the related legal issues:
- Car Accidents
- Truck Accidents
- Bicycle and Pedestrian Accidents
- Motorcycle Accidents
- Injury to passengers
- Dangerous Highways
- Dram shop liability
- Catastrophic and Serious Injuries
- Wrongful Death
Our primary objective will be to identify potential sources of liability and vigorously pursue a case against those defendants. In a drunk driving accident, the underlying liability still depends on the ability to demonstrate that the other driver was negligent. Standards for proving negligence against a drunk driver are much easier than with other drivers, especially if they are charged with drunk driving. If the driver has refused a breathalyzer or blood test, they will be deemed impaired. We will aggressively pursue a case against a negligent bar owner if the driver was over-served. If there was cause other than driver error, including a defect in the road or sign defect, we will pursue an action against the municipality or the city.
