Suing Drunk or Drugged Drivers
At the law offices of David J. Pirrone, we hate drivers who drink or take drugs and then get behind the wheel, endangering our families and our community.
Each year drivers who drink or take drugs cause thousands of needless deaths and serious debilitating injuries. Anyone who has been injured or knows of a friend or family member that has been injured or killed by a drunk driver can understand the feeling of anger toward these selfish, irresponsible people.
The good news is that society doesn't put up with this type of selfish behavior. Injuries caused by drunk drivers may lead to a recovery of punitive damages intended to set an example to discourage others from driving while intoxicated.
Punitive damages are in addition to general damages for injuries. Punitive damages caused by drunk driving are NOT dischargeable in bankruptcy. Punitive damages are not covered by a person's insurance policy, and an attorney may seek recovery personally from the defendant.
We don't care if it is alcohol, drugs or abuse of prescription pain medication- people under the influence have no business being on the road. And when they hurt or kill a person, society should condemn their behavior and make examples out of them.
OUR PHILOSOPHY:
We NEVER charge our clients for phone calls (either to or from us) AND we NEVER charge prospective clients for their first 60 minutes that we spend talking about their case. In most personal injury cases we charge a fee based on recovery (no recovery/ no fee) and in most consumer cases we charge a flat fee for services. In general we do not like charging our clients by the hour as it simply does not promote the needed communication that is necessary to adequately represent a client.
If our approach and philosophy makes sense to you, contact us today and talk an attorney who can help you with your legal problem.
We are available to meet with you in our offices or, if it is more convenient for you, we can meet at your home or business
