Drunk Driving Accident Injuries Lawyer

When a person makes the decision to drive when they are intoxicated, they are putting others at risk. Drunk driving is one of the main causes of auto accident fatalities. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported 10,320 alcohol-related crash fatalities for 2016, which is 28% of all vehicle accident fatalities. If you have lost a loved one or sustained a serious injury due to a drunk driving accident in Alabama, you may be eligible to file a personal injury claim.

When a person is under the influence of alcohol, their reaction time is impaired. They may have difficulty focusing, and motor functions are less accurate. In Alabama and all states, a BAC of .08% or higher is considered driving under the influence, or a DUI. However, in an injury or fatality auto accident, if the driver had any amount of alcohol in their system, it may be considered negligence even if the driver was slightly below the legal limit.

DUI Wrongful Death Accidents

If vehicular manslaughter is caused by a drunk driver, it is common for a wrongful death lawsuit to be filed. The driver can face criminal charges and a civil personal injury lawsuit for negligently causing another person’s death. Although not intentional, vehicular manslaughter accidents are considered more serious when the driver was impaired by alcohol. It is a preventable tragedy that can impact everyone who loved the victim, especially their immediate family.

    Rafiq A.

    My family and I met Attorney Dwayne Brown after the unfortunate accident involving my niece. Attorney Brown did an exceptional job representing my family. He was the consummate professional, and treated my family with the utmost dignity and respect. As a result of his representation, my family was able to achieve a substantial settlement in our case. Although we obviously did not get our loved back, we are prayerful that we met Attorney Brown. My family would highly recommend Attorney Brown to anyone in a similar situation.

    An excellent and professional lawyer. He took on a car accident case on my behalf, worked with me from across the country, and was just as vigorous in his pursuit of justice on day 912 as he was on day 1.

Attorney Brown resolved my case to my absolute satisfaction and did an excellent job. I highly recommend his services.
