Oklahoma DUI Accident Lawyer
Driving under the influence of alcohol is against the law across the United States, and if caught, an individual found guilty of the crime could face severe penalties such as jail time, fines, community service, and more. However, criminal charges against people who drive drunk don’t reverse the damage that they often cause before they are stopped and arrested. In 2014 alone, 676 fatalities resulted from drunk driving accidents, totaling 28.1% of all traffic related deaths in Florida. There were 26,291 DUI convictions that same year, with DUIs costing Florida taxpayers over $3.5 billion. Simply put, drunk driving accidents happen often in Florida, leaving families with loved ones who were injured or killed in a DUI crash facing a difficult situation.
At Knight, Stockton & Cunningham, PLLC, we have over 23 years of experience representing victims of drunk driving crashes and their families. Under Florida law, if you or a loved one have been involved in a DUI collision and have sustained damages as a result, you may have the right to bring forward a claim for financial compensation.
What Will a DUI Accident Claim Cover?
Individuals involved in a drunk driving accident often face serious and even life threatening injuries like traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injuries, broken bones, head injuries, neck injuries, loss of limb, and more. The physical, emotional, and financial impact of a DUI crash is very real and for many families, can be astronomical.
A DUI accident claim is designed to cover many of the expenses related to the accident, including but not limited to:
- Hospitalization
- Surgery
- Medications
- Physical therapy
- Home care
- Property damage
- Wage loss
- Temporary or permanent disability
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Physical disfigurement
