Hit by a drunk driver? Drunken driving accidents can cause injury to you, other people in your car, pedestrians, other vehicles, etc. Many people don’t realize that looking after and injured partner or relative after an accident may also be entitle you for compensation. Our law enforcement isn’t always successful in bringing criminal charges against a drunk driver for an accident. The truth is, any indication of alcohol use while driving points to negligence in a civil case. Insurance companies do not want to try a case where their insured was drunk because the chances of winning are slim.
Don’t be discouraged. You have the right to pursue damages from the drunk driver that caused your accident. Suing the drunk driver can provide the compensation you deserve. This is where experienced personal injury lawyers can help.
