DRUNK DRIVING ACCIDENT LAWYERS

Attorneys at Law

Mothers Against Drunk Driving has called it the most frequently committed violent crime in America. Regardless of what you call it, drunk driving is responsible for one-third of all fatal accidents in the United States. Driving while intoxicated (DWI), or driving under the influence (DUI) of drugs and alcohol is clearly negligence. A driver who becomes intoxicated and chooses to drive puts every other driver on the road at risk of injury or death. While the Alabama criminal court system can punish a drunk driver who caused the accident, it does nothing to compensate the victim of a drunk driver. Hundreds of people have turned to our drunk driving accident attorney after they or their loved ones have been killed or seriously injured in a drunk driving accident.

Making Drunk Drivers Pay for the Pain They Cause

Driving under the influence of any alcohol, especially an amount that raises your blood alcohol content (BAC) above the legal limit of .08 percent, can impair drivers’ judgments, slow their reaction time, impede their vision and dull their senses. When just a moment’s distraction can lead to a catastrophic crash, you and your family have every right to hold people responsible for careless and often illegal choices that have led to serious injury or wrongful death. Our attorneys fight on the side of drunk driver victims who have been injured. Getting behind the wheel of a car while legally drunk is more than just a criminal act. It is one of the highest forms of negligence that leads to serious injuries and death. DUI laws in Alabama and throughout the country are more stringent than ever, but that does little to address the civil damages related to seriously injured individuals or family member who have lost a loved one.

Finding the Responsible Parties and Holding Them Accountable

At Ferguson & Ferguson we have the experience and resources you need to prove the facts of your drunk driving accident case. While the impaired driver is clearly at fault, there may be more to the story. The bar that they left prior to the accident may have knowingly served too much alcohol, resulting in a dram shop liability claim against that establishment. Only the most seasoned and knowledgeable drunk driving accident attorneys can get through these complexities and hold the responsible parties accountable. As a preeminent personal injury law firm, we have that ability and are dedicated to seeing that justice is served for our injured and grieving clients.

Drunk Driving Statistics

Somewhere in the United States, someone is killed in a drunk driving accident every 45 minutes. Nearly 500,000 Americans are injured annually in DUI accidents, and approximately 17,000 are killed. Four-times more drivers are legally drunk at night than during the day. Drivers ages 21 to 24 were most likely to be intoxicated when involved in a fatal accident. Drivers involved in a fatal accident with a blood-alcohol level of .08 or higher were eight-times more likely to have a prior conviction for drunk driving. Nationwide, 11,773 drivers were killed in accidents involving drunk drivers in 2008, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Insurance companies understand the serious injuries frequently caused by a drunk driver and are well aware of their liability. Frequently, they will move to limit their losses as quickly as possible. Seeking qualified legal representation is vital to protecting the long-term financial well-being of you and your family.
