Vehicle Accident : Drunk Driving Accident

The Driver Was Under the Influence of Alcohol. Wasn’t That Bad Enough? Don’t Fall Under the Influence of the Persuasive Charm of the Insurance Claims Adjuster. He is Not Your Friend!

When You're the Victim of a Drunk Driving Accident

Drunk driving has affected hundreds of thousands peoples of lives. According to the Center for Disease Control, 30 percent of Americans will be involved in alcohol related accident during some point in their life time. That is staggering. More than 50 billion dollars is spent annually on alcohol-related crashes in the U.S.

Accidents dealing with drunk drivers are not handled like a typical car accident or auto wreck case. Therefore, it is critically important for you not only know what to do when you are involved in a car accident, but to seek to advice from an experienced auto accident lawyer who has handled drunk driving and intoxication driving accident cases.

The value of a potential claim may be increased because a person is intoxicated at the time of an accident. Alcohol, often times, will be the basis for filing for punitive damages. Punitive damages are those damages that are awarded to punish the wrongdoer and to deter the responsible party from repeating this type of conduct in the future. An experienced drunk driving attorney will know under what circumstances punitive damages can be sought and can receive the compensation you deserve.

In addition to the responsible drunk driver, other parties may be responsible for causing the car accident. If the drunk driver was over-served or drank too much alcohol at a bar or restaurant then the bar or restaurant may be responsible for your damages under a theory of law called dram shop liability. If a liquor store sold alcohol to a minor or parents allowed a minor to consume alcohol at their home and then drive, those people may be responsible for causing the accident.

The personal injury lawyers at the Rasansky Law Firm have years of experience handling cases for victims who have been injured as a result of DUI or DWI accidents.

Also be aware that when insurance claims adjustors contact you they are trying to establish liability and limit damages. To avoid inadvertently reducing your damages, it is best to have an attorney with experience handling drunken driving claims handle all communication with your insurance agency.

If the other person's insurance company contacts you, it is best to say that you are not prepared to speak with them at that time and tell them you will have your attorney contact them.
