DUI Accidents

    HUDSON COUNTY, NJ, November 29, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- According to the US Census Bureau, around 33,000 people are killed every year by drunk drivers. Alarmingly, as many as 38 percent of these accidents are caused by drivers who have a BAC of less than 0.07%. Even when DUI accidents do not result in death, they often result in serious injury to the drivers and occupants of other vehicles. While the drunk driver may be held criminally liable for these accidents, only an accident attorney can file a personal injury lawsuit on your behalf to ensure you are provided the full compensation you deserve.

Knowing Your Rights

When you are involved in an auto accident caused by a drunk driver, you have a right to seek compensation well beyond the offerings of an insurance company. An experienced DUI accident lawyer can help get you compensation for damages including:

- Medical and rehabilitation expenses
- Current and future lost wages
- Property damage
- Permanent and temporary lifestyle modifications
- Physical pain
- Emotional suffering

If you have lost a loved one in an accident caused by a drunk driver, you may be entitled to collect compensation for the loss of a loved one in addition to:

- End of life expenses
- Projected future income and financial contributions
- Emotional pain and suffering

Only with the help of an experienced DUI accident attorney can you be sure that you will receive compensation for these and other considerations.

Don't Work with Insurance

Insurance companies are dedicated to protecting their profits. They will do anything, even in the event of these tragic accidents, to cheat you out of your fair settlement. If you accept an insurance settlement, you waive your right to seek proper compensation though legal action. Before you accept a settlement, talk to an accident attorney to find out what your case is really worth.
