Berks County Drunk Driving Accident Attorney
Drunk driving accidents are among the most devastating and preventable tragedies on Berks County roads. When someone chooses to drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs, they put innocent lives at risk. The resulting crashes can cause catastrophic injuries, permanent disabilities, or even fatalities.
At Wilk Law Firm, our Berks County drunk driving accident attorneys are committed to holding intoxicated drivers accountable and helping victims and families obtain justice and financial recovery.
The Devastating Impact of Drunk Driving Accidents
Alcohol impairs reaction time, judgment, and coordination — essential abilities needed to operate a vehicle safely. The results can be catastrophic, often involving high-speed collisions, head-on impacts, or pedestrian strikes.
Victims of drunk driving accidents often face:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord damage or paralysis
- Severe fractures and internal organ damage
- Burns, amputations, or disfigurement
- Chronic pain and emotional trauma
These injuries can permanently change a victim’s life — physically, emotionally, and financially.
Civil vs. Criminal Proceedings
A drunk driver who causes an accident in Berks County will likely face criminal DUI charges, but those cases don’t provide financial compensation to the victims. That’s where a civil personal injury claim comes in.
Our attorneys at Wilk Law Firm pursue civil claims to help victims recover compensation for medical care, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. We also examine Dram Shop liability — which holds bars, restaurants, or other establishments responsible if they overserved alcohol to an intoxicated person who later caused harm.
Compensation for Drunk Driving Victims
Victims of drunk driving accidents may be entitled to significant compensation, including:
- Medical bills and rehabilitation costs
- Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
- Loss of consortium or companionship
- Punitive damages (to punish reckless conduct)
At Wilk Law Firm, we take the time to understand the full scope of your injuries and losses — ensuring your settlement or verdict reflects your lifetime needs.
