What makes drunk driving accidents complicated

You might think you don’t need a lawyer if a drunk driver crashed into your car. All you have to do is contact the police and they will take care of everything, right? Don’t be so sure. Drunk driving accidents often turn out to be very complicated for many different reasons, including:

  • A driver denies being drunk
  • A driver challenges driving under the influence (DUI) test results
  • A driver blames you or a loved one for causing the crash
  • DUI test results are ruled invalid by a judge

Many legal issues often come up after a drunk driving accident. You need an attorney prepared to deal with all of them head- on. Our legal team can help you, every step of the way.

How our law firm can help you

Just because a police officer is investigating your drunk driving accident does not guarantee that you will receive the financial compensation you deserve for your accident. Remember, the officer investigating your accident only cares about finding the facts, not whether you obtain a fair and reasonable settlement offer.

That’s where we come in. Our attorneys understand how expensive and complicated drunk driving accidents can be for injury victims and their families. That’s because we have worked with many families dealing with such serious accidents throughout Illinois.
