Drunk Driving Accidents

Drunk driving accidents demand a skilled injury attorney

Of all the types of accidents that cause catastrophic injury, drunk driving accidents may be the most devastating and disturbing for families.

DUI accidents happen all too often

While drunk driving has been on the decline for the past several decades, the frequency of DUI fatalities is alarming. Every two minutes, someone is injured due to a drunk driver's actions. Every 30 minutes, a person dies because of someone who was DUI, according to recent studies.

In Texas, 956 people were killed in motor vehicle accidents in 2009 involving a DUI driver, which accounts for about 31 percent of the number of people killed in motor vehicle crashes, according to car accident statistics documented by the Texas Department of Transportation.

If you were severely injured by a drunk driver, you will have the law on your side. You can seek compensation in your catastrophic injury case for medical care, lost wages and pain and suffering. You also may be eligible for punitive damages, which the drunk driver can be ordered to pay as punishment.

Speak to a lawyer before you speak to an adjuster

The law may be on your side, but the insurance company may be working against you. It's common for an adjuster to contact you quickly and try to get you to make an oral or written statement that will diminish the amount of compensation they pay. They may come across as helpful and friendly. Don't be fooled. They are not working for you. They are working to protect the insurance company's interests.

To level the playing field, contact an experienced Fort Worth drunk driving accident attorney before talking to the adjuster. At the Glenn Law Firm, your consultation is free, and you don't pay us any fees unless we recover compensation for you. We are ready to listen to you and discuss your options.
