Loss of Income

We seek to get you full compensation for current and projected medical bills related to your injuries, including but not limited to emergency care, hospitalization, surgeries, rehab, and physical therapy.
Mental & Emotional
A drunk driving accident can cause you to miss work temporarily or leave your job permanently, resulting in lost wages as well as job-related benefits. We work hard to ensure you get compensated for lost income and benefits.
Pain & Suffering
In any accident, pain and suffering losses can be difficult to calculate and are largely based on the severity of the injuries. Our experienced attorneys will review your case for free and help you determine what you may be qualified to recover after a drunk driving accident.
Damage to Vehicle or Property
If a drunk driver damages or destroys your property, you have the right to receive full compensation.
Punitive Damages
In the case of a drunk driving accident, you may also wish to seek punitive damages for the driver’s negligent behavior. If awarded, punitive damages would come from the driver’s personal assets, not the insurance company.
If you have been injured by a drunk driver, then you may be able to seek additional compensation under Dram Shop Laws. These laws prohibit businesses from selling alcohol to anyone who is visibly intoxicated or under the age of 21.
