Drunk Driving Accident Q+A

What Should I Do If I’m In A Drunk Driving Accident?

After any drunk driving accident, you should always seek emergency medical treatment. Even if you feel like you are uninjured, you absolutely must be checked out by medical professional. Oftentimes injuries are internal, and will only be diagnosed by a doctor. Once you have received medical attention, do not wait to contact an attorney. The sooner you reach out to an experienced Lubbock drunk driving accident lawyer, the sooner he or she can begin an investigation into the accident. A lawyer will protect your best interests so you can focus on recovery.

Won't The Police Take Care Of My Drunk Driving Accident Claim?

Driving with a blood alcohol level over 0.08% is illegal. This means that drivers above the legal limit that cause accident will face criminal charges. Law enforcement will conduct their own investigation into the accident, and while this can provide justice to the victims, it does not provide them with compensation. It is only through working with an experienced drunk driving accident attorney that victims can receive compensation for their injuries. An experienced attorney will work with law enforcement as they pursue criminal charges while pursuing a civil lawsuit on behalf of the victim.

Why Should I Hire A Lawyer?

It’s a common misconception that drunk driving accident claims are straightforward. There are many intricacies and complexities that only an experienced drunk driving accident lawyer can address. For instance, if the intoxicated individual was over-served at a restaurant or bar before getting behind the wheel and causing an accident, that establishment may also be liable for injuries caused in an accident.

I made the best decision ever to go to Liggett Law Group and speak with Mr. Liggett.
