DUI Driver Accident Claims
The legal definition of “drunk driving” falls under both categories of Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) or Driving Under the Influence (DUI). Driving with any amount of alcohol that makes a driver lose enough concentration on driving is considered drunk driving. If the amount of blood alcohol content is 0.08 or higher, then the driver is guilty. Driving with drugs or alcohol no matter what the content is considered criminal offence.
If I have lost a loved one in drunk driving accident, you can file a lawsuit on behalf of the deceased person, if you are a family member or legal representative of the victim. You can also take legal action if the injured in drunk driving accident is not able to proceed with legal actions due to hospitalization or health reasons that prevent them to do so.
However, if you or your loved one was the driver at fault in an accident, but the other driver was drunk your compensation for injuries will depend on the state law. In some states the settlement money will be reduced by a percentage, depending on how much you were at fault. In most cases, it is assessed that the compensation you receive will be reduced by a certain percentage, depending on the circumstances of the accident. In some states if you are found guiltier than the drunk driver you cannot recover for your injuries. Call us today for a free consultation for your case.
