Who is be liable for my injuries?

A car accident lawyer at Kitay Law Offices can figure out who is liable for your injuries. There are several individuals, companies and businesses who may be liable for a car accident. For example:

The other driver:

That other driver may have been driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, distracted by a cell phone call, texting, or failed to follow the rules of the road. Sometimes, drivers just simply stop paying close attention to their surroundings and cause an accident.

The driver’s employer:

If the driver who caused your accident was on the clock for his or her employer, you may be able to receive compensation from that company.  In Pennsylvania, employers are liable for the negligence of their employees if that employee is acting in the regular course of their employment. This is a concept the courts call “respondeat superior.” Your lawyer can explain whether this applies to your case.

Restaurants and bars:

Drinking and driving increases the risk of a car accident. Drunk driving accidents often cause very serious injuries. A recent story in The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that in Pennsylvania, the farther you live from a major city, the more likely you are to die in a DUI-related crash. Furthermore PennDOT found that in 2018, alcohol-related fatalities increased to 331 from 293 in 2017.

If the driver responsible for your accident was under the influence and they were served alcohol while they were visibly intoxicated, the restaurant or bar that served the drinks may be held responsible.  In Pennsylvania, this is called the Dram Shop Law.  So, if your accident included a drunk driver, find out where they were drinking and got the alcohol. Your attorney can help investigate and find the answers you need.

Car, truck or motorcycle manufacturers:

Some manufacturers may sell vehicles that contain faulty parts or design defects. If the manufacturer fails to take proper care regarding a vehicle and that leads to an accident, the manufacturer may be responsible for your accident.

Auto Shops:

Auto shops are responsible for ensuring that the cars they service are as safe as possible. If a mechanic fails to properly repair a vehicle or misses a problem that causes an accident, the mechanic may be liable in part for the accident.
