What Damages Can I Be Paid for in a DWI Accident Claim?

After a collision with a drunk driver, you may be left with thousands upon thousands of dollars in total damages. Our lawyers can help you seek full compensation for your injuries and other related damages. Damages in personal injury claims are typically broken up into one of two categories:

• Economic Damages: These consist of monetary damages resulting from the accident, such as your medical bills, loss of income, and property damage.
• Non-Economic Damages: These consist of unquantifiable losses that cannot be easily valued, such as pain and suffering.

Our personal injury attorneys will fight for a resolution that compensates you for all of your economic and non-economic damages. In a drunk driving case, we may even be able to seek punitive damages due to the other driver's gross negligence. Rest assured, we will not accept any lowball settlement offers for your claim.

What Is a Dram Shop Claim?

Under state law, a private establishment can be held liable for over-serving a patron if that patron then goes on to cause a drunk driving accident. This is known as a dram shop claim, and it can potentially provide you with additional compensation in addition to payment from the drunk driver's insurance policy.

To get compensation from a dram shop claim, you must typically prove that the establishment overserved the driver, and that the driver's drunkenness was a "proximate cause" of the accident. Witness testimony, receipts, and security footage can all help prove the establishment's negligence.

Our attorneys can investigate a bar or restaurant on your behalf. If necessary, we can represent you in a trial to help you get the compensation that you deserve.
