It is impossible to drive safely while “buzzed.” Studies have repeatedly shown that a driver will be affected by a single drink of alcohol to the point that they are markedly less safe on the road compared to a completely sober driver.
When someone is intoxicated behind the wheel, they will suffer from:
If the other driver involved in your car accident says something along the lines of “I just had one drink,” then you need to write it down. Look around to see if another party heard it, too, and get their information. You will want testimonies and tangible evidence like audio recordings that state the other driver had been drinking before the accident.
As unfair as it might seem, drunk drivers are not automatically liable for the car accidents they are in. They are not even assigned any liability before an investigation into the crash can be completed. Just as it is with any car accident, liability has to be fairly assigned based on what happened, not just assumptions. It is true that a drunk driver is far more likely than a sober one to cause a serious mistake while driving. But that does not mean that the drunk driver did.
For example, if a drunk driver was stopped at a red light when someone else rear-ended them, then that drunk driver would probably be 0% liable, despite their intoxication. When we are acting as your lawyers, we will do what we can to find ways to prove the drunk driver was the sole cause of your crash.
The criminal evidence used against a drunk driver in the criminal justice system can send them to jail, take away their license, and hit them with steep fines. It can also be used to strengthen your claim in civil court – if you work with an experienced attorney who knows how to use it.
Criminal evidence in a DUI accident case can include:
The evidence used by the prosecution in a DUI case might not be enough to secure a conviction, but it can be enough to help secure a settlement in your injury claim. No conviction nor even charges need to be brought against the drunk driver for your claim to be successful in civil court.
You should not let a drunk driver get away with wrecking your vehicle and causing you to suffer serious injuries. Hold them liable by letting the Melbourne drunk driving accident attorneys of Nance Cacciatore bring a claim against them. We are here to stand up for you when you don’t have the energy or resources to do it yourself.
