Delaware County Drunk Driving Accident Attorney
When a driver chooses to drink and drive, they make a reckless decision that puts lives at risk. Every year, countless families across Delaware County suffer devastating losses due to drunk driving accidents. These tragedies are preventable — and those responsible must be held accountable.
At Wilk Law Firm, our Delaware County drunk driving accident attorneys represent victims who have been seriously injured or lost loved ones due to impaired drivers. We combine aggressive legal strategy with compassionate advocacy to secure the justice and compensation our clients deserve.
The Dangers of Drunk Driving in Delaware County
Driving under the influence impairs every essential function needed to operate a vehicle safely — judgment, reaction time, and motor skills. Even a small amount of alcohol can lead to deadly mistakes behind the wheel.
Victims of drunk driving crashes often suffer life-altering injuries such as:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries or paralysis
- Multiple fractures and crush injuries
- Severe burns and disfigurement
- Amputations or loss of mobility
- Chronic pain and emotional trauma
These injuries can leave victims with permanent disabilities, loss of income, and ongoing medical challenges.
Criminal DUI Cases vs. Civil Compensation
When a driver is charged with DUI in Pennsylvania, the criminal process punishes the offender but does not provide financial compensation to victims. That’s where civil law comes in.
Through a civil personal injury lawsuit, you can pursue compensation for your injuries, damages, and losses — even while a criminal case is ongoing.
At Wilk Law Firm, we also explore Dram Shop liability, which holds bars, restaurants, or other establishments responsible if they overserved an intoxicated individual who caused a crash. We fight to hold every negligent party accountable.
Compensation Available to Drunk Driving Victims
Our Delaware County drunk driving accident lawyers work diligently to recover full and fair compensation, including:
- Medical expenses and future care
- Lost wages and loss of earning potential
- Pain and suffering
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
- Emotional distress and mental anguish
- Punitive damages to punish gross negligence
We ensure your settlement reflects both your immediate and long-term financial needs — not what the insurance company wants to pay.
