Your Rights as a Drunk Driving Accident Victim

Drunk driving is not just negligent—it’s criminal. If a drunk driver caused your accident, you have the right to pursue a personal injury lawsuit in addition to any criminal charges they may face. A civil claim allows you to seek damages for:

Medical bills, including emergency care, surgeries, rehabilitation, and ongoing treatment
Lost wages due to time off work and future earning potential
Pain and suffering, including emotional distress, trauma, and reduced quality of life
Property damage for repair or replacement of your vehicle and other personal belongings
Punitive damages intended to punish reckless behavior

Our Alabama and Georgia drunk driving accident attorneys will investigate your case, gather crucial evidence, and work with medical experts to build a compelling claim for maximum compensation.

What to Do After a Drunk Driving Accident

Seek medical attention immediately, even if injuries seem minor.
Call the police and ensure officers perform a breathalyzer test on the at-fault driver.
Gather evidence, including photos, witness contact information, and accident details.
Avoid speaking to insurance companies without legal guidance.
Contact Carmichael Law Group as soon as possible to protect your rights.

How We Prove Liability in a Drunk Driving Case

Our legal team gathers strong evidence to build your case, including:

Police reports establishing the at-fault driver’s intoxication
Breathalyzer and blood test results showing their blood alcohol concentration (BAC)
Surveillance footage capturing reckless driving behaviors
Witness testimonies to strengthen your claim
Expert analysis from medical and accident reconstruction specialists

We use this evidence to prove negligence and fight for the compensation you deserve.

FAQs About Drunk Driving Accident Claims

How long do I have to file a drunk driving accident claim?
In Alabama, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a claim. In Georgia, the statute of limitations is also two years. It’s best to act quickly to preserve evidence.

Can I sue if the drunk driver was acquitted of criminal charges?
Yes. Civil cases are separate from criminal proceedings. Even if the driver was not convicted, you can still pursue financial compensation through a personal injury lawsuit.

What if the drunk driver was uninsured?
If the at-fault driver lacks insurance, we can explore options such as uninsured motorist (UM) coverage on your policy or filing a claim against other liable parties.

How much is my drunk driving accident case worth?
The value of your case depends on factors like medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and long-term impact. We provide a free case evaluation to estimate your potential compensation.

Do I have to go to court?
Most cases settle out of court through negotiations, but if necessary, we are prepared to take your case to trial to fight for maximum compensation.
