Drunk driving accidents are tragic, preventable accidents that often result in very serious injury or death. If you are a victim of an alcohol-related crash, you are not alone. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), about three in every ten Americans will be involved in an alcohol-related accident at some point in their lifetime. More than one million drivers are arrested each year for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. About one-third of all traffic fatalities are alcohol-related.
Drunk Driving Accident Injuries
Serious injuries due to drunk driving accidents can cause permanent injuries and tremendous suffering. If you’ve suffered serious, life-changing injuries due to the reckless actions of a drunk driver, you are entitled to be compensated.
Compensation for a Drunk Driving Accident
A drunk driving accident lawyer can help you obtain justice for your injuries or the tragic loss of a loved one. An attorney can hold the driver and any other parties accountable for their actions and your loss. Compensation for a drunk driving accident can include monetary damages for medical bills, earnings lost as a result of not being able to work, pain and suffering and other expenses related to your accident. While you focus on getting better, we will do everything possible to help make you whole again. In drunk driving cases, punitive damages may also be awarded to punish the driver and deter them from repeating the behavior.
When to Contact an Attorney
After a car accident it is never too early to contact an attorney. You can increase your chances of obtaining maximum compensation for your injury claim by contacting an attorney soon after your accident. The sooner we are able to gather evidence and contact witnesses, the better chance we have of building a strong case for you.
