Every year in the United States, more than 10,000 people are killed in car accidents involving drunk drivers. Driving under the influence (DUI) of drugs and/or alcohol is a serious crime with potentially devastating consequences and penalties.

We are passionate about protecting the rights of people who have suffered loss because of individuals who disregarded the law and endangered others by driving under the influence.

What can I recover in a drunk driving case?

West Virginia has a problem with drunk driving. Over 25% of all vehicle-related deaths in the state had alcohol involved. Under the law, a driver that gets behind the wheel after consuming alcohol is considered to be legally and financially liable for their actions. This relies upon the concept of negligence, whereby one person owes a standard of care to another person which, when breached, results in an injury. This is separate from the criminal charges a driver will likely be facing in connection with the accident.

Those that have been hurt in drunk driving accidents in West Virginia may be able to recover:

Working with a West Virginia personal injury attorney can help you have the best possible chance of receiving the compensation you deserve. Not only the driver, but the drinking establishment that served him/her as well as the driver’s employer, may be liable for any damages you sustained. A number of complex issues are involved in most drunk driving cases. They include dram shop liability and the criminal DUI charges that the driver is most likely facing. We can address all of these concerns on your behalf.
