Did a Drunk Driver Injure You?
Drunk driving accidents kill people and ruin lives. They inflict physical and emotional injuries that never fully heal.
Drunk driving is clearly an act of negligence. When a person impaired by alcohol or drugs gets behind the wheel of a car and kills or maims someone, they should be held liable for their actions. You can recover medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering and other expenses. Because the accident was caused by someone breaking the law, drunk driving accident victims may also be able to obtain punitive damages.
The smart, aggressive, compassionate drunk driving accident lawyers at The Law Offices of Dianne Sawaya represent people seriously injured in drug- or alcohol-related accidents and are committed to holding drunk drivers accountable for the pain their carelessness and recklessness has caused. We will design a legal strategy to get you compensation for the suffering you have endured.
Cases against drunk drivers are more complex and involved than other types of personal injury cases. So it’s important that you have a drunk driving accident lawyer who will conduct a thorough investigation of the accident and gather all the evidence needed to prove that the driver who injured you was drunk.
The drunk driving accident attorneys at The Law Offices of Dianne Sawaya work with experts such as medical specialists, accident reconstructionists and toxicologists to develop a strong case against the negligent driver. And we won’t stop with the drunk driver and their insurance company. If the drunk driver had been over-served alcohol at a bar or restaurant, we will also look at making that establishment responsible too.
If you or a loved one has been seriously injured or you have lost a family member due to a drunk driver, call The Law Offices of Dianne Sawaya at (303) 758-4777 or email us for a free evaluation of your drunk driving accident case. There’s no obligation.
