$65,250,000 Settlement– Drunk Driver Accident
Settlement amount: $65,250,000.00 – We have secured one of the largest dram shop settlements in the history of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on behalf of two families from New York. They were hit head on by a drunk driver who was overserved at a resort facility, killing two, and leaving the other two permanently injured.

While nothing will be able to bring back the two lives lost and the tragic loss to these two families, this settlement will help their families honor their memories. The multiple failures led to the over service of alcohol but also allowed the visibly intoxicated patron leave in their car.
