Victims of Drunk Drivers

Injured by a Drunk Driver?

Despite stepped-up law enforcement and government efforts to aggressively prosecute drunk drivers, hundreds of people are injured or killed every year by drivers who choose to drink and drive on North Carolina roads.

If you have suffered an injury, or loss of a loved one in a fatal DUI accident, the law allows you to recover damages for your injuries. It also allows you to sue for punitive damages, even in an amount in excess of the $250,000 cap established by the legislature. Because our attorneys handle BOTH criminal and personal injury litigation, we have experience on both sides of a drunk driving case. This experience allows us to comprehensively review the facts from both sides, navigate the uncertain waters of the courthouse, and identify the crucial witnesses we will need to prove your case if a trial is necessary.
