One of the most frustrating types of auto accidents is one caused by a drunk driver. Drunk driving accidents are one of the most reckless, careless, and negligent causes for an auto accident. Drunk driving is also completely unnecessary with all of the taxies and ridesharing options now available. Still, far too many people engage in this dangerous conduct which needlessly exposes innocent people to serious harm. When victims are harmed by a drunk driving accident, not only can the aftermath be frustrating, but it can be a confusing process to file a claim. This is because many insurance carriers will try to use exceptions to their policies to deny their claims.

Drunk driver – We will go after any drunk driver who harms an innocent person until they are held responsible.
Employers – If the drunk driver was using an employee vehicle, such as a truck driver, we will investigate to determine whether the employer may be liable and hold the employer responsible as well.
Third parties – We will investigate whether another person let the drunk driver use their vehicle and drive the night of your accident and knew of the intoxication.
