Drunk Driving Accidents

Aggressive. Diligent. Confident.

Injured in a Drunk Driving Accident?

Virginia Beach Personal Injury Lawyer

When a drunk driver is involved in an auto accident, tragedy often ensues. In 2010 alone, an estimated 10,228 people were killed in drunk driving accidents. Every motorist knows that they are responsible for their actions on the road. This usually leads to alert and diligent driving. When an individual chooses to drink before driving, however, they lose this sense of responsibility, causing their judgment to become impaired. They can become a dangerous and reckless threat on the road. If you or a loved one has been seriously injured in a drunk driving accident, seek legal support right away.

Damage & Destruction from Drunk Driving

While every case is different, most accidents that involve drunk driving have serious consequences. Not only is the drunk driver guilty of criminal negligence, but they have also caused serious pain and damage to another person. If you were physically injured in an accident, you may require extensive medical treatment, including physical therapy and emotional support. Your insurance may not be able to cover all of the extensive care you need, especially after such a serious accident. Some accidents may prevent a person from returning to work or interacting with their loved ones. If your social and financial opportunities have been damaged by a drunk driver, you may be able to file a lawsuit against them.

You should be able to recover compensation for lost wages, emotional difficulties and property damages. A drunk driving accident involves more than just irresponsible driving. That person chose to engage in life-threatening activities, injuring you or your family members in the process. You may have even lost a loved one at the hands of a drunk driver. If you are suffering emotionally or physically from a drunk driving accident, our firm is prepared to seek the justice you deserve.
