Drunk Driving Accident

Are you or a loved one the victim of a drunk driving accident? At Adams, Luka, & Benton, we are highly familiar with the devastating injuries those who are involved in a crash with an inebriated driver often suffer. The statistics are extremely sobering; in our country, one individual loses his or her life to an intoxicated driver on average every 30 minutes. Driving while under the influence of an intoxicating substance, whether alcohol or drugs, is one of the most negligent things a person can do. If you are a victim, it is vital that you seek the legal support and guidance of a skilled Orlando drunk driving accident lawyer right away.

Perhaps you are involved in a dispute with your insurance company, or have questions regarding property damage, your injuries, or other aspects of your case that you aren't certain about. You need legal guidance, so that you are not one of the millions of people who end up getting taken advantage of and who settle for less compensation than you deserve. Insurance adjusters are not your friends, although they will try to act like it. You deserve justice; those who put their own and others' lives at risk by choosing to get behind the wheel while intoxicated should be held accountable.

Victims of drunk driving accidents are often entitled to more than compensation of medical costs. A serious accident can impact every area of your life, including your daily activities and ability to work. Your car may have been damaged or even totaled in the accident. The financial repercussions of such an accident can be overwhelming for victims. Some of the damages you may be able to recover include:

• Medical costs for treatment, hospitalization, surgery, rehabilitation, etc.
• Lost income, and future income in some cases
• Emotional distress or trauma
• Pain and suffering
• Punitive damages in some situations for the reckless behavior of the defendant; in some cases, the owner of an establishment who provided alcohol to the defendant may be liable as well

Intoxicated motorists are generally unable to think clearly, or drive in a safe manner. Their reflexes are sluggish, and combined with the inability to rationalize or even see straight, it is no surprise tragic accidents occur. A drunk driver may speed, cross lanes, drive in the wrong direction on a one-way street, or drive in an otherwise reckless manner. The result can be severe injuries, or even worse. If you are the victim of a drunk driver or have lost a family member in an accident caused by someone who was driving under the influence, you deserve justice.

Those who get behind the wheel of a vehicle after having a few drinks have no regard for their own lives or the lives of others. Unfortunately, it is often the victim who suffers the most devastating injuries, and those who are intoxicated often get off with only minor injuries. At Adams, Luka, & Benton, our top priority is to help you recover all of the damages you deserve for what you have been through, and how it has impacted your life. Let us take care of the legal details while you focus on healing, and putting your life back on the right track. Call us now for a free consultation at (407) 872-0307 or (352) 787-2101.
