Any person (must be an adult) who suffers an injury because of a drunk driver’s actions can sue them for damages. If a drunk driving victim succumbs to their injuries or becomes mentally/physically incapacitated, their family members can file a lawsuit against the driver. Other parties who can sue a drunk driver for damages are:

• Passengers in the drunk driver’s vehicle or the other vehicle
• Pedestrians
• Relatives who were present at the scene
• Minors injured in a DUI accident can bring a lawsuit through their parents or legal guardians

If you were hit by a drunk driver, you may be able to obtain compensation for:

• Past and future medical expenses
• Loss of wages
• Property damage
• Physical pain, emotional suffering, and mental anguish
• Loss of consortium or companionship

Courts can also award punitive damages in personal injury cases. Also known as exemplary damages, these damages are awarded to punish the party-at-fault when it is proved that they behaved in a reckless and irresponsible manner.

DUI attorneys usually work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they get paid only when you get paid.

Even if a drunk driver is acquitted, the plaintiff can recover economic and non-economic damages. Better to call us than to walk away.
