Personal Injury and Wrongful Death Attorneys

Rear Ended by a Drunk Driver:
Lawyer for Personal Injury and Wrongful Death

Our law firm won $6,000,000 for a woman who was seriously injured when a drunk driver rear ended the motorcycle she was riding on. She and her boyfriend had just left a bar on her boyfriend's motorcycle. Shortly thereafter, another patron of the bar got into his car and drove even though he was legally drunk. He rear ended the motorcycle, crushing our client's leg, which was later amputated.

Attorney Fred Pritzker led the litigation team that won cases against the drunk driver and the owner of the bar that had served the drunk driver alcohol and then watched him stagger out of the bar and get into his car. When an accident victim sues a bar, it is called a dram shop claim.
