Understanding Drunk Driving Accidents

Drunk driving accidents are among the most preventable yet devastating incidents on our roads. These accidents occur when a driver operates a vehicle under the influence of alcohol, impairing their ability to drive safely. The consequences can be catastrophic, leading to severe injuries, property damage, and even fatalities. The legal ramifications for drunk drivers are severe, but the impact on victims can be life-changing.

At Blevins & Hong, P.C., we specialize in representing victims of drunk driving accidents. Our attorneys have the skills and resources to investigate these cases thoroughly, establish liability, and pursue maximum compensation for our clients. We are committed to holding drunk drivers accountable and ensuring that victims receive the justice they deserve.

Common Causes of Drunk Driving Accidents

Drunk driving accidents can result from various reckless behaviors, including:

• Excessive alcohol consumption: Consuming large amounts of alcohol significantly impairs judgment, reaction time, and motor skills, leading to dangerous driving behaviors.
• Driving after social events: Many drunk driving accidents occur after parties, celebrations, or nights out, where individuals underestimate their level of intoxication and overestimate their driving abilities.
• Ignoring the legal limit: Drivers who ignore the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit of 0.08% often pose a significant risk to themselves and others on the road.

Our attorneys are adept at identifying the specific circumstances that led to a drunk driving accident. We meticulously gather evidence, including police reports, witness statements, and toxicology results, to build a compelling case for our clients.

Injuries Sustained in Drunk Driving Accidents

Injuries resulting from drunk driving accidents can be severe and life-threatening. Common injuries include:

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI): These injuries can lead to long-term cognitive, physical, and emotional impairments, drastically affecting the victim’s quality of life.
• Spinal cord injuries: Damage to the spinal cord can cause partial or complete paralysis, necessitating extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation.
• Fractures and broken bones: The force of impact in a drunk driving collision can cause serious fractures, requiring surgery and prolonged recovery periods.
• Internal injuries: Blunt force trauma can result in damage to internal organs, necessitating emergency medical intervention and ongoing care.
• Whiplash: The sudden impact of a drunk driving accident can cause neck injuries, leading to chronic pain and reduced mobility.

Our legal team understands the profound impact these injuries can have on victims and their families. We are dedicated to securing compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages to help our clients rebuild their lives.

Establishing Liability in Drunk Driving Accidents

Proving liability in drunk driving accidents involves demonstrating that the at-fault driver was operating their vehicle under the influence of alcohol. This can be achieved through:

• Police reports: Detailed reports from law enforcement officers at the scene of the accident, often including observations of the driver’s behavior and results of field sobriety tests.
• Toxicology results: Blood alcohol concentration (BAC) test results that confirm the driver was over the legal limit.
• Witness statements: Testimonies from witnesses who observed the driver’s behavior before, during, and after the accident.

At Blevins & Hong, P.C., our attorneys are experienced in gathering and presenting this evidence to establish clear liability. We work tirelessly to hold drunk drivers accountable and secure the compensation our clients deserve.

Compensation for Drunk Driving Accident Victims

Victims of drunk driving accidents may be entitled to various forms of compensation, including:

• Medical expenses: Coverage for current and future medical treatments, surgeries, rehabilitation, and assistive devices.
• Lost wages: Compensation for income lost due to the inability to work during recovery.
• Pain and suffering: Damages for physical pain, emotional distress, and reduced quality of life resulting from the accident.
• Property damage: Reimbursement for the repair or replacement of damaged vehicles and personal property.
• Punitive damages: In cases of extreme negligence, such as drunk driving, punitive damages may be awarded to punish the at-fault driver and deter similar behavior in the future.

At Blevins & Hong, P.C., we are committed to fighting for the maximum compensation our clients deserve. We understand the financial burdens that accident victims face and strive to alleviate these pressures through aggressive and effective legal representation.
