Hit by a Drunk Driver While Working?

Drunk Driving Accidents: Strong Cases for Maximum Recovery

Being hit by a drunk driver while working creates one of the strongest legal cases possible. The drunk driver's reckless choice to drive intoxicated is clear negligence - often qualifying for punitive damages on top of regular compensation.

Why Drunk Driver Cases Are Different

Unlike regular car accidents where fault may be disputed, drunk driving cases have clear liability:

• Blood alcohol test results provide objective proof
• DUI arrest records document the intoxication
• Criminal conviction can be used in civil case
• Juries are unsympathetic to drunk drivers
• Punitive damages may be available

What Are Punitive Damages?

Regular damages compensate you for losses. Punitive damages punish the wrongdoer for particularly reckless conduct. In Pennsylvania, driving drunk is considered reckless enough to potentially warrant punitive damages - money above and beyond your actual losses.

Dram Shop Liability

Pennsylvania's dram shop law may allow you to sue the bar or restaurant that served alcohol to an obviously intoxicated person who then caused your accident. This creates another source of recovery if the drunk driver lacks sufficient insurance.
