Should I Sue a Drunk Driver?

In the wake of a serious accident, you may be wondering if you should sue the drunk driver who hit you or your loved one. After all, you and your family are likely navigating a series of new and unexpected challenges, including obtaining and paying for medical care, keeping up with daily expenses and bills while you are out of work, and dealing with the immense pain and suffering these accidents cause—is it really worth it to take legal action against the drunk driver?

In fact, suing a drunk driver may be the best way to recover compensation for your damages. When someone acts negligently—and driving while intoxicated is one of the most egregious examples of negligence—you have the right to collect compensation for any harm and/or losses they cause you. Suing a drunk driver and seeking the rightful recovery you are owed is separate and apart from any criminal charges that may be brought against the drunk driver; the purpose of a civil lawsuit is to provide victims (and their loved ones) with appropriate compensation for their medical bills, lost wages, disability, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and other hardships caused by the negligent person or party. That being said, a successful civil lawsuit can also provide you and your family with a much-needed sense of justice as you work to get back on your feet and move forward with your life.

While suing a drunk driver can be a somewhat lengthy process, it does not have to be an exceptionally challenging one. At Kornfeld Law, we can guide you through the entire process from start to finish, handling all of the legal complexities and proceedings so that you can simply focus on healing. We offer contingency fees, meaning you do not owe any attorneys’ fees until we successfully recover compensation on your behalf.
