Compensation for Drunk Driving Injury Victims

When a driver, motorcyclist, or pedestrian is injured or killed by a drunk driver, the family of the injured or killed victim is changed forever in ways that only known by those who have suffered in much the same way.

Our criminal justice system deals with the DUI driver while our firm seeks to take care of the victims and families changed forever by a senseless, selfish act. We cannot turn back the clock; however, we can work toward providing financial security and stability where it may otherwise be lost.

Unfortunately, we have seen the terrible aftermath of a drunk driving injury: fatality, brain injury, spinal cord injury, head injury, catastrophic injury, and other serious harms and losses.

If you have been seriously injured, or a loved one killed, by the reckless acts of a drunk driver, then contact our Florida drunk driver accident lawyers today.

Compensation in a Drunk Driving Accident

While some may have some sympathy for a driver who is momentarily distracted and kills or injures someone, it is hard to feel sorry for a person driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. At the Harris Law Firm PA, we go after drunk drivers in our civil justice system, prosecuting them in the civil court for money damages to help make up for the harms and losses they have wrought upon your family.

Collecting compensation in an Florida drunk driving injury or death can be problematic, but we aggressively pursue every avenue:

• The driver can be sued for negligence if they have insurance, and if they have enough insurance.
• Your own Uninsured Motorist (UM) policy may also provide compensation.
• In rare circumstances in Florida, you may be able to sue a bar, restaurant, liquor store or other establishment under the Dram Shop Act for providing alcohol to an already intoxicated person. Keep in mind, however, that although Dram Shop laws were established hundreds of years ago to protect individuals against bars and restaurants from serving intoxicated individuals (to prevent these impaired individuals from going out and harming others), Florida's Dram Shop law actually serves as a form of immunity and amnesty to bars and restaurants (preventing them in many cases from being held liable for their misconduct -- CONTACT YOUR STATE REPRESENTATIVE AND STATE SENATOR TO REPEAL OR AMEND THIS LAW).
• Under Florida's social host law, the host of a party or other person who provided alcohol to an obviously intoxicated person can also be liable for damages.
