How to Maximize Compensation After a Drunk Driving Accident
Maximizing compensation for an accident victim is a priority at the law firm of Marcus & Mack. Our lawyers have more than 30 years of experience finding every available opportunity to make certain that the people we represent get all the money they need to move forward with their lives. In drunk driving accident cases, taking action against the drunk driver is obvious. Not so obvious: taking action against the bar or nightclub that over-served the drunk driver.
Bars and Nightclubs Do Have a Responsibility to the Public
Bars and nightclubs, not to mention restaurants and other establishments that serve alcoholic beverages have a responsibility to their patrons and the public. They should not continue to serve patrons who are obviously intoxicated. Unfortunately, they frequently do. When over-served patrons leave the bar or nightclub, get into a car and cause a drunk driving accident, the drinking establishment can be held accountable.
These secondary claims, referred to as dram shop claims, open up the door for additional compensation for the victim, which is particularly important when the drunk driver is also an uninsured or underinsured motorist, which is often the case. The experience possessed by our Pittsburgh dram shop claim attorneys allows us to successfully balance multiple claims, moving toward our ultimate goal of positive results for you.
