Drunk Driving Accidents
Driving is extremely dangerous, especially when those around us are reckless, negligent, or even drunk. Each year, drunk driving causes thousands of accidents – all of which should have been avoidable. Drunk driving accidents are not only severe, but they are also often very complex cases as there can be both a criminal and civil side to the case. If you or a loved one has been impacted by injuries or even passed away due to a drunk driving accident, contact us at JDL Law Firm to get the justice you deserve.
Why JDL?
Due to the impaired state of a drunk driver, the damage is often severe. While the drunk driver may walk away unharmed, the victims may be left with serious life-changing injuries or even killed. We believe that drunk drivers should be held responsible for the harm they caused through their actions. While you take the time to recover from your injuries or tend to a loved one who was hurt, we will handle the legal process. These cases are often complex and difficult, that is why it is important to contact us at 210-997-2929 so we can help you recover everything you are entitled to under the extent of the law.
What Can I Recover?
Jail time and things of that nature are not part of the civil penalties a drunk driver is subject to. Criminal proceedings can impact a drunk driver even if no damage or harm is done. Civil cases can hold a drunk driver accountable for damage and harm done, including:
Property damage
Medical expenses
Lost wages
Future employment capacity
Pain and suffering
Emotional distress
Permanent disability
Wrongful death
Just one drink can raise a person’s BAC level .02 percent. To avoid ever causing harm to anyone, always drink responsibly. Be aware of how drinking can impact you and your blood-alcohol content, and have a safe way to get home if you become intoxicated.
