Despite the widely known dangers of drunk driving, accidents often result in catastrophic injuries to innocent victims who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.When you are injured because of someone else’s reckless act, you deserve to be compensated. Our lawyers not only understand the personal injury side of a drunk driving accident, but also understand how the criminal aspect can affect your case. We work together to help you achieve justice and fair compensation.
If you were injured in a drunk driving accident, it is important to talk to an attorney as soon as possible. As with any accident, an investigation needs to be conducted. Because evidence can become lost and witnesses can become unreliable, the sooner we can get started the better.
When determining liability in a drunk driving accident, most people point to the driver. While true, a bar or restaurant may also be at fault. Known as “dram shop” liability, an establishment that continues to serve alcohol to a visibly intoxicated person may also be liable for injuries caused by a drunk driver. Our attorneys can help you determine whether to seek compensation from a bar or restaurant in addition to the driver.
