Drunk Driving Accidents
Last modified: April 5, 2010York, Pennsylvania, DUI / DWI Accidents Attorney
Drunk drivers who injure or kill people can be held liable for financial losses far beyond the initial damages for medical bills and property loss. Since drunk drivers realize they put others at risk by driving drunk, their actions constitute gross negligence and a reckless indifference towards the well-being of others. If the facts of the case indicate gross negligence was involved, an injury victim may be able to recover damages for pain and suffering and loss in quality of life in addition to easily-determined losses for property damage and medical bills.
At the Stambaugh Law Firm, our attorney works with accident investigators, police reports, and medical experts in holding drunk drivers financially accountable for the injuries they cause to others.

Establishing the Impact of a Drunk Driving Accident on Our Client
It’s important for jurors to understand how a person’s irresponsible decision to drink and drive effected our client and his or her family. That’s why we present “before” and “after” pictures of our client. In some cases, we create a “day-in-the-life” video in order to show the court what our client has to go through in getting out of bed, getting ready for the day, performing certain kinds of tasks, and what they can longer do as a result of their injuries. As your attorney, Steve Stambaugh connects a face, a life, and a family to the injuries and accident discussed in court.
