Philadelphia Dram Shop and Car Accident Attorney, Jeffrey Reiff, Salutes Pennsylvania State Police In Their Efforts To Step Up DUI Sobriety Check Points With Roving Patrols On Weekends

The Philadelphia car accident and Pennsylvania Dram Shop attorneys at Reiff & Bily salute the efforts of the Pennsylvania State Police who recently announced that they will be stepping up their efforts to stop drunk driving on Pennsylvania highways conducting more DUI sobriety checkpoints and roving patrols. These welcome actions by the Pennsylvania State Police will help protect Pennsylvania citizens from the hazards of drunk drivers which often irresponsibly leads to catastrophic injuries and fatalities.

The Pennsylvania State Police promise “zero tolerance” and remind drivers that penalties can range from fines to license suspension for first offenses and prison for repeat offenders. The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation statistics reported over 14,500 DUI crashes annually on Pennsylvania roadways with over 500 fatalities and 13,000 injuries.

The Philadelphia car accident and Dram Shop law firm of Reiff & Bily is committed to fighting drivers who operate motor vehicles while intoxicated. We believe that bars, taverns and social hosts owe a duty of responsibility to their patrons to make sure that they are not served alcohol when they are visibly intoxicated in accordance with the Pennsylvania Dram Shop statute.

The Philadelphia car accidents lawyers at Reiff & Bily believe that people who are killed or harmed by drunk drivers should be able to recover significant monetary damages against reckless bar owners and social hosts who put profits over public safety and welfare. The Philadelphia Dram Shop lawyers at Reiff & Bily stand in line with the Philadelphia police, Pennsylvania State Police, MADD, the courts and the unfortunate catastrophically injured or deceased victims in taking strong action against those whose outrageous conduct resulted in easily preventable tragedies.
