It is time for summer fun, and while for many people that includes the occasional night out, barbecue, or party, it unfortunately sometimes includes drinking and driving. Drivers who consume alcohol before or during their drive pose a threat to the safety of themselves, and everyone else that is on the road. When an accident occurs and the driver is found to have been under the influence of alcohol at the time of the crash, it is likely that criminal charges will be filed against them. However, criminal charges are just one way in which intoxicated drivers can be held responsible for their actions. As with any automobile accident, the accident victims and/or their families, if there were fatalities, can pursue claims for damages against the driver who caused the accident.
Losing a loved one or being severely injured by a drunk driver can be incredibly painful, and recovering physically and emotionally can take a long time. You are likely to be dealing with the physical pain associated with your injuries, the emotional pain associated with losing someone you love, the stress of paying for medical bills and replacing or fixing damaged vehicles, and more. As you embark on the journey of recovering from your injuries or loss, you may also begin to wonder how you will pay for medical bills and lost wages. You can pursue a claim for damages to recover the costs of your medical bills, lost wages, and other damages, in addition to the pain and suffering that you are experiencing as the result of your injuries or loss.
Each accident that is caused by a drunk driver involves negligence. A Mississippi Automobile Accident Attorney understands the rules regarding negligence, and the rules regarding evidence. This means that attorneys know exactly which information to gather from police reports, witnesses, experts, and others to present a very convincing case on your behalf. Your attorney can also help you understand the value of your case, so that you do not settle for less than you deserve. If the insurance company refuses to cooperate and acknowledge your loss or damages by proposing an acceptable settlement offer, a Mississippi Automobile Accident Attorney knows how to bring your drunk driving accident case to court and fight for your right to be justly compensated.
