Holding Drunk Drivers to Account
While many personal injury accidents are caused by negligence, drunk driving accidents are the result of willful misconduct on the part of the liable party. If you or someone close to you has been injured by a drunk driver, it is important to have an attorney on your side who understands the legal issues that are unique to this type of accident.
At Kinnard, Clayton & Beveridge, we aggressively pursue claims against drunk drivers responsible for serious injuries and wrongful death. If you or a loved one have been harmed by a drunk driver, our attorneys will work to help you obtain the compensation you need and the justice you deserve.

Drunk Driving Accident Lawsuits
In a drunk driving case, we can not only pursue compensatory damages (compensation for medical bills, lost wages and other losses), but punitive damages as well. Punitive damages make it possible to punish the drunk driver, grant significantly higher awards to victims, and deter others from drunk driving.
If your drunk driving accident was also a hit-and-run accident, our lawyers can help. We will work to identify the drunk driver, or if that is not possible, pursue compensation from your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. We understand the hardships you face as a result of this accident, and we are prepared to help.
Dram Shop Liability
In some drunk driving cases, we may be able to identify other liable parties in addition to the drunk driver. Dram shop liability refers to liability on the part of bars, taverns, restaurants and other establishments that serve alcohol to people who go on to cause drunk driving accidents. We thoroughly investigate every case and will explore all avenues of compensation in your accident injury case.
