Being injured by a drunk driver is one of the most frustrating situations a person can face. You did nothing wrong, but someone made a reckless decision and you’re the one suffering the consequences. Arizona takes DUI seriously, and so do we.
You Have the Right to Pursue Compensation
A criminal DUI charge against the driver is separate from your right to file a civil personal injury claim. Even if the driver is convicted, or even if charges are reduced or dropped, you can still pursue compensation for your injuries. These are two entirely different legal processes.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
If you were injured by a drunk driver, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage. In some cases involving drunk driving, punitive damages may also be available and your attorney can evaluate whether this applies to your specific situation. Punitive damages go beyond covering your losses and they are designed to punish particularly reckless behavior.
Act Quickly
In DUI accident cases, evidence can be critical. Police reports, blood alcohol test results, witness statements, and surveillance footage can all play a role in building your case. The sooner an attorney gets involved, the better positioned you are to preserve that evidence and build a strong claim.
