Liability in Drunk Driving Accidents
At Gritton & Gritton, we understand the pain and stress caused by drunk driving accidents. We fight to hold drunk drivers responsible for the damage they cause.
You may be dealing with serious injuries that have left you unable to work. We have more than half a century of experience helping clients seek compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
We gather evidence to build a strong case, including:
- Police reports
- Photographs of the accident scene
- Witness statements
- Testimony from accident experts
In most car accident cases, punitive damages are not awarded. However, when a car accident was caused by drunk driving, it may be possible to be awarded punitive damages. This is done to punish the person for the reckless and negligent behavior and to deter future incidents of drunk driving.
What Damages Can Be Awarded from a DUI Accident?
In addition to seeking compensation from the drunk person and his or her insurance company, it may be possible to file a lawsuit against other liable parties. For example, a vendor who sold the driver the alcohol may be held responsible.
These cases are known as “dram shop” claims and may be pursued when a vendor sold alcohol to a visibly intoxicated person and this action caused the injury. Our Murfreesboro drunk driving accident attorney will evaluate all possible sources of compensation for your injuries.
If you were injured in a drunk driving accident, call (615) 285-5472 to set up an appointment for a consultation.
