Bethlehem Drunk Driving Accident Attorneys
Lawyers Advocating for Drunk Driver Victims and Their Families Throughout the Lehigh Valley
When a driver makes the decision to drink and drive, he or she makes the decision to put the lives of others at risk. If the driver's negligence and carelessness cause undue harm to other drivers, passengers or pedestrians, the negligent drunk driver should be held accountable. While the criminal justice system holds drunk drivers responsible for their actions, this does little for the injured drunk driving accident victims or for the families of fatal accident victims.
At the law office of Seidel, Cohen, Hof & Reid, L.L.C., we pursue civil justice on behalf of drunk driver accident victims and their families. We work diligently to hold the individuals responsible (through their insurance coverage), as well as investigate any other sources of negligence. This enables our firm to maximize the recovery following a serious car accident. We encourage you to contact our Allentown and Bethlehem drunk driving accident lawyers for skilled advice and representation throughout the Lehigh Valley.
Experienced Allentown, Pennsylvania, Lawyers Representing Car Accident Victims
We represent the rights of drunk driver victims in personal injury and wrongful death claims arising from all types of accidents, including:
Liquor Liability — Dram Shop Liability
In many situations, the drunk driver is not the only party responsible for the crash. Our attorneys and investigators thoroughly examine the evidence, including factors leading up to the drunk driving crash. One component of our investigation is determining where the drunk driver consumed the alcohol. Under Pennsylvania law, a bar, restaurant or other establishment can be held liable for negligent service of alcohol, such as when alcohol is served to a minor (negligence per se under the criminal statute) or when alcohol is served to an individual who is already visibly intoxicated (dram shop or liquor liability law) and that individual subsequently causes a drunk driving accident resulting in injuries or fatality.
If our investigation reveals that, prior to causing the crash, the drunk driver was over-served at a bar, restaurant, nightclub or other establishment when exhibiting visible signs of intoxication, our attorneys will vigorously pursue this angle of the case in order to maximize financial recovery for our clients.
