Drunk Drivers

• Recovery in excess of a million dollars - A young lady from Washington, Pennsylvania was seriously injured while riding on the back of a motorcycle that was struck by a drunk driver near Washington, PA. The young lady suffered serious head injuries and facial scarring. Claims were filed against the drug driver and the restaurant that had served him under liquor liability laws. After extensive litigation, a recovery in excess of a million dollars was obtained for this young woman.

• Large seven-figure recovery - A Pittsburgh man from Brighton Heights was a passenger in a car driven by a drunk friend as they left Three Rivers Stadium after a Pirate baseball game. The drunk driver crashed the car and caused his passenger to be rendered a quadraplegic as a result of a severe brain injury. We filed a claim against the concession company at Three Rivers Stadium who sold the alcohol to the patron at the baseball game who was intoxicated. The company argued that there was no way for the people at the concession stand to know that the patron was intoxicated, but we eventually obtained a large seven-figure recovery on behalf of this gentleman.

• Six-figure award - A young woman from Pittsburgh was hit by a drunk driver on Baum Boulevard causing her leg to be pinned under the steering wheel and fracturing her femur. She had to undergo surgery for the permanent placement of a rod in her leg. An award well into six figures was obtained on her behalf.
