DUI Accident Lawyers

The accident lawyers at Brown & Brown, LLP are experienced at securing the maximum compensation for those injured in car accidents caused by intoxicated drivers. While being involved in any traffic accident can be emotionally, physically and financially ruinous, accidents caused by drunk or intoxicated drivers can be especially devastating on an emotional level due to the fact that they could have been prevented if not for the reckless decisions of another driver.

When a DUI accident occurs, injured parties can file a car accident lawsuit against the drunk or drugged driver in an effort to obtain compensation for their:

• Medical bills and injuries
• Lost wages, should their injuries prevent them from working
• Property damage and car repair bills
• Mental anguish.

It’s also important to note that:

• Drivers under the influence of prescription and/or over-the-counter medications can be held liable for victims’ injuries both in criminal and civil court just as they would be for taking illegal drugs and/or drinking excessive amounts of alcohol prior to driving
• In some cases, drunk driving accident victims may be able to also hold the restaurant, bar or other establishment that served the drunk driver alcohol prior to the accident liable in court for additional compensation (according to Missouri Dram Shop Laws)
