Our personal injury lawyers have recovered compensation for victims in numerous drunk driving accident cases. Bart Bernard is a member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum for his success on behalf of clients with seven-figure damage claims. However, we handle all types of drunk driving injury cases, from what may appear to be a small injury to herniated discs to wrongful death.
We advocate for fair compensation, including punitive damages
When someone is injured in a regular car accident, he or she can recover for doctor bills, loss of earnings, and pain and suffering. In a drunk driving accident, the victim might be able to recover for all of these damages plus punitive damages. While state prosecutors might have filed a criminal case that could send the drunk driver to classes or jail, it takes a civil drunk driving case to provide financial relief to victims and their families.
Auto / car insurance companies want to keep drunk driving accident cases far away from a courtroom and jury. They are usually willing to settle. An experienced personal injury lawyer can mean the difference between a settlement and a just settlement. If insurance companies do not accept a fair settlement offer, we are fully prepared to take your drunk driver liability case to the jury.
We usually accept car and truck accident claims on a contingency fee basis. This means that you won't pay attorney's fees unless we're successful in collecting damages on your behalf. We also advance other costs and expenses.
