According to the law, all drivers must exercise "reasonable care under the circumstances." A failure to use reasonable care is considered negligence. When that negligence is caused by a drunk driver, you need legal representation.
In the event that an individual causes an injury accident because he or she was driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, civil charges can be filed against the liable party. In the event of a loved one’s death, we can help you and your family file a wrongful death claim to ensure that you are justly compensated for funeral costs, loss of income, pain and suffering and loss of companionship.

Our attorneys have an excellent understanding of the intricacies of the law as well as Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Coverage that may be available to you.
