Compensation for Victims of Drunk Drivers
We know how devastating drunk driving accidents can be — highway crashes, rear-end collisions, intersection accidents. The bad judgment and slowed reactions of intoxicated drivers often make the injuries worse, especially when the drunk runs a red light, crosses the center line or hits the brakes too late.
Trial lawyers Bobby Phillips and Mandy Roberts bring over 25 years of experience representing injured, maimed and traumatized victims of these collisions. They and their legal team are motivated to prove negligence, from the decision to get behind the wheel after drinking to the circumstances of the crash itself.
The criminal proceedings are separate from your civil case for damages. We are not required to prove the person was "legally drunk" to justify compensation for your injuries, medical care, lost wages, and pain and suffering. We only have to prove that the driver's actions were negligent.
However, if we can also demonstrate the person was impaired by alcohol to the standard of gross negligence — a blood-alcohol level of .08 or above or by other proof of impaired driving — you may be entitled to punitive damages as part of your compensation.
