On more than one occasion, our firm has sued a drunk driver, collected personal funds from the drunk driver, imposed large judgments against the drunk driver and even suspended the drunk driver’s license for 20 years! Yes, the government could only suspend the drunk driver’s license for 6 months, but we fought to get our client’s license suspended for 20 years because they were driving drunk or impaired without coverage!
We all know that it is illegal to drive under the influence but unfortunately this irresponsible behavior still occurs and can have dire consequences. When someone gets behind the wheel while drunk, that person not only endangers themselves but also the lives and safety of the innocent. These reckless actions should not be ignored, especially when they are the cause of injury to someone else. If you have been the victim of an accident at the hands of a drunk driver, it is crucial that you seek out an attorney who can represent you and knows how to pursue these claims.
Getting injured by a drunk driver may lead to physical and emotional pain, disabilities, lost wages, high medical bills, and property damages. The right attorney can help you receive the compensation you deserve for the misfortunes you endure.
