If you suffered injuries in an auto accident that was caused by a driver who was under the influence of alcohol, you may have the right to file a lawsuit and pursue compensation. Drunk driving accident cases can be complex, even though the intoxicated motorist is almost always at fault for a collision. However, just because you were involved in a collision with an intoxicated driver does not mean you automatically have grounds to file a lawsuit. You must provide proof that the other motorist caused the collision and your injuries to recover compensation.
At 800-968-7529, our DUI Injury attorneys will build a strong case that will prove liability and your demand for damages.
Some victims of drunk driving accidents wonder if they can hold a bartender or establishment responsible for damages if the driver was over-served alcohol. Holding an establishment or bartender responsible can be an option for recovering compensation if the motorist lacks sufficient assets and insurance to cover the cost of your damages.
At 800-968-7529, our DUI injury attorneys have the knowledge, resources, and skills to investigate this type of complex accident to establish dram shop liability. They can gather video surveillance footage and interview witnesses to prove the other party continued to be served alcohol when they were visibly intoxicated.

An intoxicated driver typically operates their vehicle at a higher speed than they would if they were not under the influence. Additionally, when a driver is intoxicated, it makes them more likely to engage in risky maneuvers on the road. They will also be at a higher risk of making serious or even deadly mistakes, such as misjudging the distance or the speed of other drivers. Many drunk driving crashes result in life-changing injuries for the occupants in the other vehicle.
An accident victim can pursue compensation for past and future medical expenses for severe injuries. If the injuries they sustained prevented them from returning to work, they can also claim lost income during their recovery. This can also include loss of earning capacity if the injuries they suffered leave them unable to ever return to work. A life-changing injury and the inability to return to work to earn a living can result in serious financial hardship for the accident victim and their family.
A DUI injury lawyer on our legal team will carefully review your case and assess damages, ensuring you pursue the compensation in court that will alleviate financial hardships now and prevent them in the future.
Damages you may be entitled to can include:
And More.
You may also be entitled to punitive damages, which are damages that are intended to punish the intoxicated driver, which can significantly increase your award.

I’m a 9/11 first responder, and I can honestly say that Parker Waichman made me feel like they had my best interest in my VCF case. Ms Candalino & Ms Viti are top notch in my book. I was constantly informed on the status of my case. I would definitely recommend Parker Waichman LLP to family and friends.
