How We Help Victims of Drinking and Driving Accidents
If you have been hit by a drunk driver, it is important to seek legal representation immediately. Many car and truck wrecks can legitimately be called “accidents”. However, wrecks caused by drinking and driving involve the defendant engaging in reckless conduct that he or she knew was illegal. Companies such as Uber and Lyft are available to prevent people from making such reckless decisions and placing others in danger, but driving while under the influence of alcohol is still a common problem on our roadways. An arrest is often involved in DWI collisions which helps prove liability, but proving damages and finding sufficient coverage can become complex. This is why it is important to have a Hurst drunk driving accident lawyer experienced in representing victims of these types of accidents. In addition to criminal punishment, the actions of a drunk driver are grossly negligent and can amount to punitive damages in civil litigation. The magnitude of the damage is often very high and insurance companies work hard to diminish their exposure.
A Hurst drunk driving accident lawyer from our team will aggressively protect the victims of a drunk driving accident. We will closely monitor the defendant’s criminal process so we are aware of any impact it will have on your case. Our in-house private investigator will immediately go to work investigating the circumstances surrounding the accident including the defendant’s background, where the defendant became intoxicated, and gathering facts from all witnesses involved. If necessary, we will subpoena the arresting officer in order to gain testimony regarding the state of the defendant driver at the time of the collision. We will retain medical and vocational experts to establish the extent of your injuries and the damage done to your future earning potential as a result of the wreck. We maintain regular contact with our clients throughout the case to answer any questions and to make sure they stay informed. We handle these cases in all Texas counties including Tarrant, Dallas, Johnson, and Wise counties as well as Hurst, Euless, Bedford, Haltom City, Richland Hills, North Richland Hills, Watauga, Grapevine, Colleyville, Southlake, Arlington, Keller, Grand Prairie, Dallas, and Fort Worth.
