Why Do I Need a Lawyer?
Dealing with the consequences of a drunk driving accident is overwhelming. Trying to pay for medical bills while not being able to go to work and make any money, all while in pain from your injuries, takes a toll. If another driver was responsible for the accident because they were driving while under the influence of alcohol, you need to hold them responsible. You need to be compensated for your injuries.
Even though you might think that there will be a criminal case where the drunk driver will be held responsible and you will get the help you need, this is a common misconception. In a criminal case, although the driver will likely face consequences such as fines and jail time for their actions, you will not be able to receive compensation.
In order to get compensation, you need to file a civil case against the drunk driver. You need to prove that the driver was negligent and caused the accident. This could be nearly impossible without the help of an experienced lawyer. The law is very complicated regarding drunk driving, and trying to figure it out on your own will likely not end well. By having an experienced lawyer represent you, you will be able to ensure that the process runs smoothly and efficiently. Having quality representation to advocate for you will ensure that the outcome of your case will be the best one possible for you.
Challenging the person who injured you in a civil case will also help improve your community. If negligent drivers are not held responsible, they may continue driving drunk because there is nothing to deter them. If they get away with it once, they will likely think that they can get away with it again. This could leave another innocent person in danger. Drunk driving is irresponsible, and it is completely avoidable. It is important to show drunk drivers that there are not only criminal consequences like jail time and fines, but also civil consequences like paying compensation to the people they hurt.
