Proving Negligence After a Drunk Driving Incident

Let us work with you to get the compensation you will need after a personal injury suffered in a drunk driving accident. We are experts at accumulating evidence proving the intoxicated state of the other driver and the hazard that they created at the time of the accident. We know how to gather crucial records that will help your case, and we also draw on our experience to calculate a fair financial compensation for your losses.

We aim to get you a settlement, verdict, or recovery that will help you pay for:

A common misconception that victims of drunk drivers make frequently is assuming that intoxicated driving automatically means liability for any accidents. Just because someone blows a 0.12% into a breathalyzer device after crashing into you does not mean they will necessarily be found accountable for what happened. Do not make assumptions when your finances and livelihood are on the line. You need to get professional assistance.
