Additional Sources of Recovery in Accident Cases

Wednesday, December 16, 2009 by

At Galfand Berger our Philadelphia personal injury attorneys handle accident cases throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey. In our experience we have seen that when there are accidents that result in serious injuries, it is necessary to look to other responsible parties.  If you are hurt in a motor vehicle accident, there can be other sources of recovery in addition to the driver of the other vehicle. In my next four posts I will discuss other these possible sources including:

  • serving alcohol
  • bad roadway
  • bad faith
  • product liability

Serving Alcohol

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania  has a law that holds commercial establishments (bars for example) liable if they serve alcohol to a visibly intoxicated person and this causes an accident. For example, if a drunk person causes an accident, the bar that served him drinks could be liable for the injuries he causes. Most businesses that serve alcohol have insurance (Liquor Liability coverage) for this situation.

If you are someone you love has been injured in accident that involved drunk driving, you should contact an experienced accident attorney who can help you obtain just compensation for your injuries and explore additional sources of recovery such as whether a commercial establishment was at fault.
