We Also Represent Victims of Other Types of Impaired Driving

Alcohol is just one of several types of impairing substances that increase the risk of accidents. Opioids, marijuana, and other prescription and illicit drugs are also recognized as causes of impaired driving that can contribute to drowsiness, poor decision-making, and other hazards.

If you suffered injuries or lost a loved one in an accident caused by someone else’s negligence, do not wait to speak with us. We will work hard to get justice for you.

You Can Sue the Drunk Driver Who Caused Your Accident (and Possibly Others)

Drunk driving accident victims generally have no control over whether the intoxicated driver faces criminal charges or whether the charges result in a conviction. However, you control whether you file a lawsuit against those responsible for the accident.

While you are likely entitled to compensation through insurance, you may also have clear grounds to sue the drunk driver and anyone who enabled their drunk driving. Whether you seek compensation through an insurance claim, lawsuit, or both, a drunk driving lawyer from our team can help.

Those who you may seek compensation from include:

• The drunk driver: The dangers of drunk driving are well established, and few people can claim they are unaware of the perils of driving while intoxicated. This means that when a motorist drives drunk and causes an accident, they have no plausible excuse for avoiding liability.
• The person or institution that provided the driver alcohol: Though there is not always a party responsible for supplying the drunk driver alcohol, there can be. A restaurant, bar, convenience store, or liquor store that served an apparently intoxicated patron might also be legally responsible for any resulting accident.
• Any other party that contributed to the accident: While it is likely that the drunk driver did something to cause the accident, there can be other contributing factors to the collision. For instance, if a traffic light malfunctions when a drunk driver hits you in an intersection, the municipality responsible for that traffic light can share liability for your accident-related damages.

Diagnosing liability is one of the duties we regularly perform for victims of drunk drivers, as well as the other clients we serve. We will review the evidence from your collision with a drunk driver and determine who is financially responsible for your damages.

Common Reasons Why Drunk Drivers’ Victims Hire an Attorney

Being hit by or losing a loved one because of a drunk driver is not a common experience. Those affected by such accidents are often unsure what to do next, and hiring a lawyer may be your best option.

Victims of drunk drivers choose to hire a lawyer because of:

• Time constraints: For most Americans, time is limited even in the best of times. When a drunk driving accident throws your life into disarray, time may be even more limited than usual. Between recovery, personal obligations, and any professional responsibilities you face, you may have no time to handle your claim or lawsuit.
• Physical injuries: Physical injuries from drunk driving collisions can include severe brain injuries, whiplash, broken bones, internal bleeding, severe cuts, and a range of other ailments. Symptoms from such injuries may not only limit you physically but require continuous care, affect you psychologically, and prevent you from handling your claim or lawsuit effectively.
• Inexperience: Most of the victims of drunk drivers we represent have no formal legal training or experience. This is one reason they come to us for help. If you don’t know the law, how to file lawsuits, or how to negotiate settlements effectively, you can struggle mightily to achieve the case result you seek.
• A lawyer’s experience: Our lawyers aren’t just versed in civil law. We have successfully completed insurance claims and lawsuits time and time again. Our real-world experiences make us confident in every case we handle.
• A law firm’s many forms of support: Our firm will support your case financially, investing all available resources to build the strongest case we can. We will also invest significant time and effort on your behalf.

When you hire a Jonesboro drunk driving lawyer from Caddell Reynolds Law Firm, you avoid several pitfalls while receiving the full support of our team. By protecting you from health risks and potential violations of your case while putting our full weight behind you, we give you several reasons to hire our team.

Our Team Will Fight for Your Financial Recovery, Here’s How

Let your Jonesboro drunk driving lawyer from our team take your case off your hands. We provide comprehensive representation that generally involves:

Establishing the Motorist’s Intoxication

We will secure all evidence that proves the motorist involved in your accident was drunk.

Such evidence may include:

• A police officer’s report detailing the accident
• Breathalyzer results
• Blood test results
• Eyewitness testimony
• Video footage of the motorist consuming alcohol
• The motorist’s own statements

We will also prove how the impaired motorist caused your accident, whether by speeding, tailgating, or engaging in other dangerous actions.

Proving Negligence

Drunk driving is a form of negligence, but we must prove it.

We establish negligence by proving:

• The drunk motorist owed you a duty of care (which all motorists have)
• Proving the motorist breached their duty of care (which they did by driving drunk)
• Proving that the breach of duty of care caused the accident
• Showing the damages you’ve suffered because of the defendant’s negligence

We will rely on all available evidence as we make this argument.

Documenting and Calculating Your Damages

We must prove the harm you have suffered because of the drunk driver, and we may use:

• Medical images of your injuries
• Medical bills
• A mental health expert’s diagnosis of your pain and suffering
• Evidence that you have lost income because of the accident
• All other available documentation of your damages

Your attorney will also calculate the cost of each of your damages. The total value of those damages will inform our settlement demands.

Negotiating a Settlement

We will begin negotiating a settlement with the liable parties once we know how much money you deserve. Depending on your case strategy, we may negotiate with insurance companies or lawyers for the defendant(s).

Handling Any Necessary Lawsuit or Trial

If those who are financially responsible for your damages refuse to meet our settlement demands, you may pursue a lawsuit. We will draft and file the lawsuit, and we may continue negotiating a settlement.

If liable parties still do not offer fair compensation after we file suit, a trial may come next. Our attorneys will handle each of these processes for you. Though a trial can take longer than settling, you may need to go to court to obtain the compensation you deserve.

We Will Demand Fair Compensation for All Your Accident-Related Damages

Drunk drivers can cause immense harm to their victims.

We will create a detailed record of all your accident-related damages, which may include:

Healthcare Expenses

After the accident, you must receive all the medical attention you need, but the care will cost substantial sums.

Whether or not you have health insurance, liable parties should pay for:

• Emergency treatment
• Medical imaging
• Physical evaluations
• Surgery
• Medications
• Any other medical services you require after the accident

Healthcare costs are often among accident victims’ most costly damages. Our team will work to ensure you don’t pay a dime out of your own pocket for accident-related healthcare services.

Professional Harm

Those injured by drunk drivers may suffer an unexpected interruption in their professional lives. If you are disabled, the interruption can prove permanent.

Some of the professional damages you may endure are:

• Lost income
• Diminished earning power
• Lost opportunities for overtime pay, bonuses, and promotions
• Lost benefits
• Loss of the fulfillment and purpose you get from working

Our attorneys may work with economists, your employer, and any other parties who have insight into your professional damages.

Pain and Suffering

We recognize that accidents do not only cause financial losses.

You may also have extensive pain and suffering, which might include:

• Post-traumatic stress disorder
• Physical pain
• Psychological distress
• Emotional anguish
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Lost quality of life

We consult mental health professionals who evaluate our client’s pain and suffering. Your attorney will use proven methods to calculate pain and suffering, which does not usually have an obvious financial cost.

Mental Health Treatment Expenses

We will include the treatment costs in our settlement demands if you seek treatment for your pain and suffering.
