Holding Drunk Drivers Accountable in Florida
Drunk drivers are a menace to everyone else on the road. For that reason, they are held particularly culpable under Florida law when they cause car accidents.
Sometimes, that means that the victims of drunk driving accidents caused by driving under the influence (DUI) - also known as driving while intoxicated (DWI) - are entitled to higher damages.
At the law firm of Fiol Law Group in Tampa, our attorneys help victims of DWI and DUI accidents and their families pursue fair compensation for the harm that has been done to them. Contact us today for a free consultation with a Tampa drunk driving accidents lawyer. You will pay no fees or costs unless you get money damages for your injuries.
Demanding the Compensation You Deserve
DWI and DUI accidents stand out from other types of car accidents because in a personal injury case for a DUI collision, in addition to economic damages and damages for your pain and suffering, you can also recover punitive damages. Punitive damages are intended to punish reckless behavior.
If we can make a valid case that you are entitled to punitive damages, your overall compensation is likely to be much higher.
If our attorneys handle your DUI/DWI accident case, we will provide the other driver's insurance company with a clear demand for a fair settlement. If the insurance company is not willing to be reasonable, we are prepared to go to court to stand up for your rights
Proving That the Other Driver Was Drunk
In order to get the damages you deserve for your DUI/DWI accident injuries, it will be necessary to prove that the person who caused your accident was driving drunk. This is the case no matter whether or not the driver is charged with the criminal offense of DUI.
The lawyers at our firm will take whatever steps are necessary to obtain the evidence needed to prove that your injuries were caused by a drunk driver. We are experienced at evaluating blood and breath test results as well as the statements of police officers and other witnesses.
Don't hesitate to contact us Fiol Law Group to discuss what a Tampa drunk driving accident lawyer can do to help you pursue fair compensation for your injuries.
