The Philadelphia, PA, DUI and DWI accident attorneys at Levin & Zeiger LLP, know the consequences and risks associated with vehicle collisions when people drive under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Most people take steps to ensure that they can consume alcohol safely, such as recruiting a sober designated driver or utilizing cabs or public transportation, but the law allows DUI and DWI accident attorneys to recover for people who are injured in motor vehicle accidents. Nonetheless, intoxicated individuals still sometimes end up behind the wheel of a car, and all too often, they cause fatal accidents or accidents which leave others with serious life-threatening injuries.
According to the U.S. Department of Transportation National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, more than 17,500 people are killed each year, and thousands more injured, in DUI related motor vehicle accidents. More often than not, the inebriated driver does not suffer the most serious injuries; rather, it is his or her passengers, the occupants of another vehicle, or pedestrians.
Drivers who operate a motor vehicle while under the influence of drugs or alcohol, regardless of whether or not they cause an accident, are susceptible to arrest for criminal charges as well as sanctions from the state department of transportation. If you have been injured in an accident with an intoxicated driver, you also have the right to bring a private lawsuit against that driver to recover damages.
At Levin & Zeiger, LLP, we understand that representing victims of DUI related accidents requires particular types of skills and knowledge, as well as ability to understand your rights.
