A DUI car accident often produces terrible injuries, and they are responsible for a vast number of motorist and pedestrian deaths every year. The U.S. has a serious drunk driving issue, and according to the CDC, a drunk motorist gets away with driving drunk 80 times on average before they are finally caught. It’s no surprise, then, that these cases represent a large part of an injury attorney’s case load. And while the courts are generally adept at expediting these cases through the system, there are still many factors that can alter the nature of a case.
When a DUI car accident occurs, the drunk driver is nearly always going to be considered responsible for any damages. The only exception is when another driver is breaking a traffic law at the time of the crash. For instance, if a driver makes an illegal left-hand turn and slams into a drunk driver, the drunk driver will likely not bear the brunt of the responsibility. Even if they are arrested once police arrive.
Sometimes, an attorney will name additional parties in the suit, such as the bar that served the driver alcohol or a person who lent a car to the drunk driver. This can be an effective way to attain compensation if the driver is not carrying insurance.
A personal injury lawyer will exhaust every avenue to ensure a victim gets the compensation they deserve. These crashes can leave a person disabled and unable to continue their work and mode of life. When a victim is placed in this situation, it is only right that they receive elite legal representation.
