Drunk Driving Victims - A Car Accident Lawyer Can Help You

Alcohol related accidents cause the most preventable and tragic injuries and deaths in society today.  Drinking alcohol and driving simply do not mix.  The law prohibits both the consumption and furnishing of alcohol to a person who is known to about to get behind the wheel. In other words, a drunk driver is always liable for harm caused by his negligence, but often there is additional liability for injuries caused by the bar or restaurant that provided the alcohol to the driver.  Our lawyers have experience in all these areas of the law. Individuals under the age of 18 do not have the physical or emotional maturity to handle the consequences of alcohol consumption, therefore, anyone who supplies alcohol to young drivers can be held legally responsible for the harm caused by that young driver.  Anyone, be it a business or an individual, who provides alcohol to minors can be held responsible for damage caused by those minors.  Businesses can also be held responsible under the law for continuing to furnish alcohol to persons who are already intoxicated who then cause damage to others.  We recognize how devastating these alcohol related accidents can be to innocent victims.  In addition to being compensated for medical expenses, lost wages and loss of quality of life, punitive damages are often awarded to punish and deter the drunk driver from harming others in the future.

My perspective is that Scott and Jay and their staff are very caring.  They are superb.  My husband did not survive a car accident.  I was treated with respect and compassion when I needed it the most.....those were very horrible years for me.  Thanks for all who were patient with me and my grief.  NP
