Holding Drunk Drivers Accountable

Drunk Driver Accidents

Our experienced attorneys fight tirelessly to get you the compensation you deserve after an accident, so you can focus on recovery.

Numbers That Speak For Themselves

Our proven track record of success showcases our dedication to securing justice and maximum compensation for our clients.

Justice for Victims of Impaired Driving

There is no excuse for drunk driving. It is a reckless, selfish act that endangers everyone on the road. When a drunk driver causes an accident, it is not a mistake—it is a crime. The anger and betrayal you feel are justified. While the criminal justice system may punish the driver, it does little to help you pay your medical bills or rebuild your life.

That is where we come in. We pursue civil claims against impaired drivers to secure the financial compensation you need and to send a message that this behavior will not be tolerated.

Why Choose Our Firm?

Punitive Damages

In addition to standard compensation, we aggressively pursue punitive damages, which are designed to punish the driver for their gross negligence.

Dram Shop Liability

We investigate whether a bar, restaurant, or host served the driver alcohol despite them being visibly intoxicated, potentially holding the establishment liable as well.

Victim Support

We understand the emotional toll of these cases and treat you with the compassion you deserve.

The Reality of DUI Accidents

Alcohol impairs reaction time, coordination, and judgment. This leads to high-speed collisions, head-on crashes, and wrong-way driving incidents. We handle cases involving:

  • Drivers under the influence of Alcohol.
  • Drivers under the influence of Drugs (illegal or prescription).
  • Repeat DUI offenders.

Injuries and Compensation

Drunk driving accidents often occur at high speeds without braking, leading to severe trauma:

  • Traumatic brain injuries.
  • Spinal cord damage.
  • Internal organ rupture.
  • Facial scarring and disfigurement.

You are entitled to full compensation for your economic losses (bills, wages) and non-economic losses (pain, emotional distress).

Criminal vs. Civil Cases

A common misconception is that you must wait for the criminal trial to finish before filing a lawsuit. This is false. We can—and often should—file your civil claim immediately to freeze assets and preserve evidence. Even if the driver is not convicted criminally (or takes a plea deal), we can still win your civil case and hold them financially responsible.

Steps to Take

  1. Call the Police: Ensure the officer conducts a field sobriety test or breathalyzer.
  2. Watch and Listen: Note if the driver smells of alcohol, slurs speech, or tries to dispose of bottles.
  3. Seek Medical Help: Document all injuries.
  4. Contact Us: Do not accept a quick settlement from the drunk driver’s insurance—they know the value of the case is high and want to pay you off cheaply.
