With all the negative publicity and the high numbers of injuries and deaths due to drunk driving, we'd like to make the assumption that this type of negligence rarely occurs anymore. However, the unfortunate truth is that they still do happen. In fact, drunk driving accidents continue to happen far too often, creating life-altering effects on the victim and their family's lives. The drunk driver seems to develop a feeling of invincibility when they get behind the wheel, without a second of consideration for the lives of others on the road. In many states, law enforcement is fighting back against drunk driving.

Victims of a drunk driver's negligence can sustain serious injuries and even permanent disability. You could face years of treatment, therapy and hefty medical expenses as a result. Even worse, you may have lost a loved one who died as a consequence of a drunk driving accident. This loss is life changing and tough to recover from.

After an accident involving a drunk driver, you have many resources available to you, including seeking compensation from the drunk driver's insurance. You will have many things to deal with when you are a victim, and you may not understand all your rights or how to ensure you are compensated for your injuries.

Hiring an experienced attorney can make all the difference. They are skilled in examining evidence, proving negligence and ensuring the best outcome for you. Drunk driving accidents have serious consequences, and it is imperative that those responsible are held accountable.
