The Stark Reality of Drunk Driving in Florida
Drunk Driving: A Risk to Everyone on the Road
It’s no secret that driving under the influence is dangerous. Even a single drink can impair a driver’s:
- Reaction time.
- Motor control.
- Vision.
- Focus.
In Florida, thousands of drunk driving accidents occur each year, leaving victims with devastating injuries and financial burdens. These accidents aren’t just numbers—they’re personal stories of loss and resilience.
The Aftermath
If you’ve been injured by a drunk driver, you need more than just medical care—you need a legal advocate who can hold them accountable. That’s where Nance Cacciatore’s experience shines.
Are Drunk Drivers Automatically at Fault?
Contrary to what you might think, drunk drivers aren’t automatically liable for an accident. Florida law requires a thorough investigation to determine fault.
Example:
If a drunk driver is rear-ended at a red light, they may not be held responsible for the crash, even if they were intoxicated. Liability must be proven based on evidence, not assumptions.
How Nance Cacciatore Builds Your Case
Our team dives deep into every detail, collecting evidence such as:
- Witness testimonies.
- Accident scene photos.
- Traffic camera footage.
We work tirelessly to establish that the drunk driver was solely responsible for your injuries.
Using Criminal Evidence to Strengthen Your Civil Case
Drunk driving cases often involve criminal proceedings, but did you know that criminal evidence can also benefit your civil claim?
Examples of Evidence That Can Boost Your Case:
- Police reports.
- Blood alcohol concentration (BAC) test results.
- Statements made by the driver while in custody.
- Convictions or plea agreements.
Even if the driver isn’t convicted in criminal court, our team knows how to leverage this evidence to strengthen your case and pursue maximum compensation.
