Fort Lauderdale Drunk Driving Lawyer

Your Rights in a Drunk Driving Case

Drunk driving accidents often cause horrendous damage and can result in catastrophic injuries for those involved. The intoxicated driver's impaired ability to judge situations and control their vehicle is made worse by a slowed reaction time. This can easily lead to disastrous consequences and is particularly unjust when the lives of innocent victims are permanently devastated by the recklessness of another. If you or a loved one has been injured in such an accident, a Fort Lauderdale personal injury attorney can help you pursue the compensation and damages you deserve.

Besides holding the other driver accountable, there are some instances in which the establishments or individuals which sold or provided alcohol to the drunk driver can also be successfully sued. If the guilty driver was under 21 years of age or a habitually addicted to alcohol, your case will be covered by these dram shop laws. Although these are somewhat limited in their breadth under Florida law, a knowledgeable attorney can identify any way in which it applies in your particular case.
