When a car accident occurs due to DUI/DWI it is anything but an accident; driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI) is a criminal offense, punishable by fines, jail time, and loss of a driver's license. Alcohol and drugs impair the performance of a person's complex mental and motor functions that are essential to the safe operation of a motor vehicle. These facts are widely known and yet, unfortunately, drunk or impaired individuals still choose to operate cars, trucks, or motorcycles on a daily basis and by doing so they are also choosing to endanger the lives of innocent motorists, passengers, and pedestrians.

While the law does hold negligent parties of DUI/DWI accountable for their vicious acts, it does not hold them accountable for the financial difficulties and pain and suffering victims and their families experience after the incident.

The attorneys at The Pisanchyn Law Firm will fight aggressively for your or your loved one’s right for justice against the drunk driver making him or her fully responsible for his or her actions.

Determining liability in drunk driving accidents requires proof that the negligent driver was legally intoxicated under Pennsylvania standards, meaning the negligent driver’s blood alcohol content had to be .08 or higher. When there is proof that this threshold was approached, met, or surpassed it shows that the negligent driver’s impairment affected his or her judgment, causing the accident to occur. The drunk driver is considered responsible for compensating the victims of his or her negligent actions and in some cases the bar or establishment that provided the alcohol can also be held liable.

Our lawyers will likely be able to achieve full compensation for victims of DUI/DWI under these circumstances. These victims may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering, loss of income, property damage, and more. Please visit our Auto Insurance Law page for more information.
