What Is a Drunk Driving Accident Claim?

A drunk driving accident claim is a personal injury case brought by someone injured because another driver operated a vehicle while impaired by alcohol or drugs. Drivers under the influence may have impaired:
  • Judgment
  • Coordination
  • Reaction time
  • Vision
  • Decision-making abilities
These impairments often lead to dangerous and reckless driving behavior.

Common Causes of DUI Accidents

Drunk driving crashes may involve:
  • Speeding
  • Running red lights
  • Wrong-way driving
  • Swerving between lanes
  • Distracted driving
  • Delayed braking
  • Falling asleep behind the wheel
Some accidents also involve drivers impaired by prescription medications or illegal drugs. If you were injured because of an impaired driver, a DUI accident lawyer can help investigate the circumstances surrounding the crash.

Why You Need a Drunk Driving Accident Lawyer

Serious DUI accident claims can become complicated quickly. Even when a driver is arrested for DUI, insurance companies may still try to reduce or deny injury claims.

How Casas Law Can Help

When you work with Casas Law, P.A., we may:
  • Investigate the accident thoroughly
  • Gather medical records and evidence
  • Review police reports and DUI findings
  • Communicate with insurance companies
  • Negotiate for fair compensation
  • Prepare your case for litigation if necessary
Insurance companies often focus on minimizing payouts. A drunk driving accident lawyer helps protect your interests throughout the process.

Signs You May Have a Strong DUI Accident Claim

Not every crash automatically results in compensation. However, certain factors may strengthen your injury claim.

Warning Signs to Watch For

  • The other driver was arrested for DUI
  • Police reports mention intoxication
  • Witnesses observed reckless behavior
  • The driver failed sobriety testing
  • Medical treatment was required after the crash
  • You suffered lost income or ongoing pain
A DUI accident lawyer can review the details of your case and help determine your legal options.

What to Look for in a West Palm Beach DUI Accident Lawyer

Choosing the right attorney may make a significant difference in your case.

1. Experience Handling Serious Injury Claims

Look for a law firm with extensive experience handling car accident and personal injury cases involving serious injuries.

2. Knowledge of Florida DUI and Injury Laws

DUI accident claims often involve both criminal and civil legal issues. Your attorney should understand how these cases interact under Florida law.

3. Strong Negotiation Skills

Insurance companies frequently attempt to settle claims for less than their full value. A skilled attorney can negotiate aggressively on your behalf.

4. Trial Preparation

Although many cases settle, your lawyer should be prepared to take your case to court if necessary.

5. Clear Communication

You deserve updates, answers to your questions, and guidance throughout the process.

6. Bilingual Legal Support

For many South Florida families, bilingual legal services make communication easier during stressful situations.

Types of Cases We Handle

At Casas Law, P.A., our drunk driving accident services often involve:
  • Car accidents
  • Motorcycle accidents
  • Truck accidents
  • Pedestrian accidents
  • Bicycle accidents
  • Wrongful death claims
Many of these crashes involve severe injuries that require extensive medical treatment and long-term care.

What Compensation Can You Recover?

Victims injured by impaired drivers may face significant financial and emotional losses.

Potential Damages Include:

  • Medical expenses
  • Hospital bills
  • Surgery costs
  • Physical therapy
  • Lost wages
  • Reduced earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Property damage
A drunk driving accident lawyer can evaluate the damages connected to your case and pursue compensation tied to your injuries and losses.

How the Legal Process Works

Understanding the process may help reduce some uncertainty after a serious accident.

Step 1: Case Evaluation

We review accident details, medical records, insurance information, and available evidence.

Step 2: Investigation

Our legal team gathers documents, witness statements, police reports, and other evidence tied to the crash.

Step 3: Demand and Negotiation

We present the claim to the insurance company and negotiate for fair compensation.

Step 4: Litigation (If Necessary)

If the insurance company refuses to act fairly, we are prepared to pursue the case in court.

I was involved in a car accident that resulted in injuries and several complications. Throughout the entire process, my attorney, Nick Sarta, along with Dalia and the rest of the team, were always there for me every step of the way. They were professional, supportive, and kept me informed during a very difficult time. After my surgery, they continued to check in and make sure everything was handled properly. Their dedication and compassion made a stressful situation much easier to manage. I highly recommend Casas Law to anyone in need of representation. While I hope to never go through those circumstances again, I am truly grateful for all of their hard work and support.
