Florida Drunk Driving Accidents
If you have been injured in an accident caused by a drunk driver, you may be entitled to a monetary settlement that may include punitive damages. The drunk driver violated the law by operating a vehicle while over the legal blood alcohol limit; thus, any accident he or she caused is held to a higher standard of liability than an ordinary car crash. Contact an experienced personal injury attorney to learn about your options and rights after this type of motor vehicle accident. Call 561.395.8055 for a free initial consultation.
Our goal is to obtain the maximum compensation for our clients that have been injured in drunk driving accidents.
At the South Florida law firm, Law Offices of Corey Leifer, PA, we assist people after a drunk driving accident. We have successfully obtained payment for our clients' medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Taverns and social hosts can be liable for drunk driving accidents
We may also pursue the bars, restaurants, nightclubs and social hosts who continued to serve alcohol to a driver who caused an accident under certain circumstances. Florida’s Dram Shop Act makes bartenders and party-givers liable for damages and injuries caused by their customers or guests.
Acting for pedestrians, joggers, and bicyclists after a DUI accident
In addition to representing clients who have suffered DUI injuries, we act for pedestrians, joggers, and bicyclists. These users of roadways are particularly vulnerable to drunk drivers. Because they are often walking, biking, or running on the shoulder, they are easily hit by a drunk driver unable to control his or her vehicle.
