In Pennsylvania, you may also be eligible to file a claim against the party responsible for providing the defendant with alcohol. Known as Dram Shop Liability, the law allows the victim of the accident to file for compensation from the establishment that served the drunk driver. This would be an establishment, e.g. bar, restaurant, etc., with a liquor license if it can be shown that the defendant was visibly intoxicated when he or she was served, or the provider of the alcohol should have known that the party was intoxicated.
If the defendant is under 21 years of age, you can file a claim against the provider of the alcohol regardless of other circumstances.
If you would like more information, feel free to contact us.

About Me
- David Schreiber
- I have been practicing law since 1994. From 1994-1998, I was a State's Attorney with the "Governor's Law Firm", called the Office of General Counsel. I represented the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in Civil Actions, including winning cases on appeal before the Commonwealth Court. In 1998, I joined a local firm. I became a shareholder. I am now a Partner at Wolpert Schreiber P.C., focusing on injury law and insurance disputes. I am one of the few lawyers handling injury cases who has worked exclusively both as a lawyer for injured people and in house for a large law group defending those claims when I was with the "Governor's Law Firm". My work also includes Insurance Disputes and Contracts. I have successfully handled hundreds and hundreds of cases, including cases to jury verdict, in State and Federal Court. I am honored to help people who come to us to solve their problems. Our goal is to seek truth and accountability, while working as hard as possible for our clients. I have obtained millions of dollars in recoveries for clients over the years. We work for your case.
