Dram Shop and DUI Accidents

Were You Injured by a Drunk Driver? Call Us Right Away.

Drunk drivers and businesses that serve excessive alcohol to their customers are responsible for thousands of deaths every year. If you have been injured by a drunk driver, or have lost a loved one in a fatal DUI accident, an experienced personal injury attorney can be your best chance of recovering full and fair money damages. We explore avenues of recovery against potential defendants other than the driver, such as a restaurant or bar.

Free Consultation • No Attorneys Fees Unless You Recover Compensation • Extensive Experience

Bernard & Stuczynski has the experience you can rely on to help you recover maximum money damages for your injuries and losses. In many cases, Pennsylvania laws relating to full tort and limited tort are complicated. Even when other lawyers shy away from limited tort cases because of restrictions on the amount you can recover, we are willing to work with you. We know strategies to recover maximum money damages by looking at every available insurance source, including non-economic damages in the event the drunk driver is from out of state or found criminally negligent.

We have a successful record of obtaining maximum money damages in all types of motor vehicle accidents involving DUI and dram shop liability, including:

Contact our offices in Erie to arrange a free consultation about your DUI accident. We will begin investigating your case immediately, often by working with independent specialists to determine dram shop liability on the part of a bar, restaurant or social host who served too much alcohol.

What If the Other Driver Didn't Carry Enough Insurance?

In many cases, DUI accidents are caused by uninsured and underinsured drivers. Under Pennsylvania dram shop liability and limited tort laws, we are often able to seek compensation from your own UM insurance policy, including money damages that may be available because of criminal negligence.
