Legal Representation for the Injured

Drunk driving is a crime, but this has not stopped many drivers from getting behind the wheel while impaired. Injured victims of drunk driving accidents may be entitled to recover compensation for their losses in a civil lawsuit or insurance claim filed against the drunk driver. If you or your loved one has been harmed in an alcohol-related traffic crash, it is in your best interests to speak with a knowledgeable car accident lawyer as soon as you can. At Car Accident Help, our OK drunk driving car accident attorneys know the law, and we will aggressively pursue the compensation you deserve.

Drunk Driving Accident Victims in Oklahoma Have Rights

Alcohol-impaired driving (including drunk driving motorcycle accidents and drunk driving truck accidents) kills and seriously injures many people in Oklahoma, and across the nation. These tragic accidents were avoidable, and drunk drivers must be held accountable for the harm they inflict on innocent people. If you or your loved one has been hurt in a traffic crash caused by a drunk driver, you may be entitled to file a claim for compensation for the losses you have suffered. Damages you may be entitled to claim include:

  • Medical expenses: Drunk driving accidents can cause severe injuries. Damages may include your past and future medical, hospital, and rehabilitation expenses and medications.
  • Lost wages: If you were forced to miss work because of your injuries, or if a disabling injury has limited your future earning potential, these losses may be included in your claim.
  • Pain and suffering: Non-economic damages may include pain and suffering and emotional distress resulting from your injuries.
  • Property damage: You may be entitled to recover the cost of repairing your vehicle and car rental expenses while your vehicle was being repaired.
  • Punitive damages: These are additional damages designed to punish the defendant for flagrant or egregious actions, as may be possible in cases of drunk driving.
