Trial Lawyers Relentlessly Pursuing Justice

By law, all motorists have a legal obligation to safely operate their vehicles. This means taking reasonable steps to ensure they drive in accordance with the law, and that others around them do not face risks of suffering preventable harm. Unfortunately, statistics make it clear that motorists often fail to uphold this legal obligation and cause serious car accidents that result in injury and death – especially when they are intoxicated by alcohol or drugs.

Your Rights After a Drunk Driving Accident
Victims injured by drunk drivers can face numerous physical, financial, and emotional setbacks. Fortunately, there are laws in place that provide victims injured by the negligence of another to take steps in holding the at-fault party accountable.
In terms of drunk driving accidents, this involves filing a personal injury lawsuit – or a wrongful death lawsuit filed by families in cases of fatal DUI accidents – which must prove a few essential elements:
- A driver owed the victim a “duty of care”;
- The driver breached this legal duty (often through negligence);
- The driver’s negligent act more likely than not caused the accident and injury; and
- The victim suffered damages as a result.
While proving these elements requires meticulous investigation, detailed legal work, and extensive case preparation, a successful claim can allow victims not only hold drunk drivers accountable for their negligent and wrongful acts but also to be financially liable for the economic and non-economic damages victims suffered as a result.
These damages may include:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Physical pain and suffering
- Mental anguish or emotional suffering
- Loss of quality or enjoyment of life
- Lost income and lost future earnings
- Disability or impairment
