"Drunk drivers take a grisly toll on the Nation’s roads, claiming thousands of lives, injuring many more victims, and inflicting billions of dollars in property damage every year...The problem of drunk driving arose almost as soon as motor vehicles came into use." https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/15pdf/14-1468_8n59.pdf. In a recent opinion the United States Supreme Court has recognized the dangers that drunk drivers pose to people and property.

Drunk drivers, buzzed drivers, impaired drivers, whatever you call them,  put everyone on the roadway in extreme danger.  Drunk driving accidents can cause devastating.  It is made all the more maddening to seeing innocent people suffer when the accident was completely preventable. Today, with Lyft, Uber, taxis and our collective experience as a society with drunk drivers, there is no excuse for drunk driving accidents.  The drunk driving laws are there to punish those that drink and drive. But the criminal laws are not the best means to getting proper compensation for a drunk driving accident victim.  The McAllen Personal Injury Attorney focuses on getting compensation for the victims of drunk driving accidents. #TheMcAllenPersonalInjuryLawyer will ensure that you get the most compensation you are entitled to reseived.

Seek legal representation immediately if you have been in a collision with drunk driver.  In addition to criminal punishment, drunk driver can be grossly negligent, this means you can sue for punitive damages, increasing the amount of money you recieved. Additionally, if the drunk driver became intoxicated a bar that sell alcohol, it is possible to sue the bar as well, if the bar knew the driver was drunk and continued to serve him or her alcohol anyways.

After you accident,  I will immediately go to work investigating the accident including the drunk driver’s background, where the defendant became intoxicated, and gathering facts from all witnesses involved.  I wil contact any witnesses and prepare to retain experts in blood alcohol levels and doctors who can testify about your injuries.
