Drunk Driving Accident

Drunk Driving Accident Victims in Florida

Driving while intoxicated (DWI), or driving under the influence (DUI) of drugs and alcohol is clearly negligence. A driver who becomes intoxicated and chooses to drive puts every other driver on the road at risk of injury or death.Floridians pays the price when drunk driving crashes occur

In 2005, alcohol-related accidents resulted in 1,719 deaths, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A driver was legally intoxicated — with a blood alcohol level at or above .08 percent, in 1,250 of those cases.

While the criminal court system can punish a drunk driver who caused the accident, it does nothing to compensate the victim of a drunk driver. The drunk driving accident attorneys at The Shaked Law Firm have won substantial damage awards for victims of auto accidents throughout Florida.

If you are the victim of a drunk driver or if a member of your family was killed in a drunk driving accident, please contact an attorney at The Shaked Law Firm in Miami, Florida today. Our lawyers will vigorously pursue compensation for your drunk driving related injuries.

Compensation for Florida Drunk Driving Accident Victims

The civil court system allows victims to recover financial compensation for the injuries and other damages the drunk driver caused. Our attorneys can pursue a drunk driving accident claim and obtain financial compensation for your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage.

If the drunk driver who caused the crash was legally intoxicated, we can also pursue punitive damages for the injury victim. Punitive or exemplary damages significantly increase the amount of compensation a drunk driving accident victim receives. These types of damages are designed to financially punish and make an example of the drunk driver who caused the collision.

If you are the victim of a drunk driver, please do not speak with an insurance adjuster without first consulting with an experienced Florida personal injury lawyer at the Shaked Law Firm. Do not allow any conversation to be recorded. The insurance company’s goal is to pay you the least possible amount of financial compensation. Their representatives may encourage you to agree to a fast, cheap settlement offer.
