Pursuing Compensation for Injuries from Drunk Driving Accidents
Houston Attorneys Representing Clients Throughout Texas
The effective handling of a personal injury claim following a car or truck accident most often requires the help of an experienced personal injury attorney. When drunk driving is involved, a complex case quickly becomes even more complicated.
A personal injury case resulting from a DUI/DWI accident is considered "gross negligence", and punitive damages can be imposed on the drunken driver. Injuries suffered in drunk driving accidents can also involve criminal law. And injuries resulting from DUI/DWI accidents tend to be more severe.
To fully protect an injured person's rights, or the rights of surviving family members following a DUI/DWI-related wrongful death claim, a lawyer should know how the separate criminal law legal process may affect the civil case for compensation.
At law firm of Essmyer, Tritico & Rainey, L.L.P., in Houston, our attorney team is highly experienced in handling car accidents and truck accidents, including accidents that were caused by drunk drivers.
