Truck Accidents and Drunk Driving

Truck accidents involving drug and alcohol abuse can result in serious injuries to the brain and spinal cord and wrongful death. Victims of drunk drivers may pursue compensation for their medical bills, lost wages and other hardships. A truck accident involving drunk driving may also involve punitive damages, which are intended to punish the at-fault party and provide significant additional financial compensation to the accident victim.

Our attorneys know how to investigate truck accident cases to determine if drug and alcohol abuse was a factor. Depending on the circumstances of the accident, we may subpoena medical records, police reports, DUI breath tests and other evidence. We may also conduct a thorough investigation of the accident scene, searching for evidence such as empty prescription drug bottles and drug paraphernalia in the truck cab.

We will put our extensive experience, skill and resources to work for you to help you pursue fair and just compensation for your truck accident injury case.
