Obtaining Compensation in Drunk Driving Accident Cases
My firm will organize a comprehensive investigation of the accident, focusing on establishing the negligence and liability of the drunk driver. I will also identify the short-term and long-term medical care you need and any wages you have lost as a result of the accident.
In most drunk driver cases, the biggest potential source of compensation is the drunk driver and the driver's insurance company, or the employer if the driver was on the job. In some cases, it may be possible to file suit against the bar or restaurant which over-served the driver.
In your case, I will seek to maximize compensation from all possible sources.
Justice for Victims of Drunk Driving Accidents
The criminal case against a drunk driver usually goes to trial before the civil case is resolved. In these situations, I encourage the victim of the drunk driver to testify at the criminal trial. Though it can be emotionally difficult for the victim to face the drunk driver, it can help significantly in the civil case. This testimony can also provide the victim with closure and the emotional satisfaction of knowing that justice is being done.
Every year, more than 17,000 people in the U.S. are the victims of accidents caused by drunk drivers.
