Portland Drunk Driving Accident Lawyer

Auto Accident & Injury Attorney

Drunk driving accidents causing injury or death are prosecuted in criminal court, but this does little to relieve the emotional pain and problems that the victim or the victim’s family is facing. An attorney can help a drunk driving accident victim by bringing a lawsuit to civil court, where a judgment in the victim’s favor would mean monetary compensation to be paid by the drunk driver and/or his or her insurance company.

It is one thing to act recklessly and endanger oneself, but by driving drunk a driver endangers countless others. Driving while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs will cause the driver’s mental and physical abilities to be impaired. No matter how slight this impairment may seem, it will lead to delayed reaction time and the inability to correctly judge a situation. When a driver is severely inebriated, he or she can easily cause a motor vehicle accident without even being aware of what is happening. This accident can lead to catastrophic injuries and even death to the other driver or passengers involved in the collision.

A Portland drunk driving accident attorney can help you if you have been injured or have lost a loved one due to a drunk driver. It will be necessary to review the circumstances of your accident, interview witnesses, review evidence and possibly conduct an accident reconstruction in order to determine how to prove the fault of the drunk driver. If a skilled attorney dedicates the time and energy to doing just this, chances are that you will be able to recover maximum compensation for the accident, injuries and losses you have suffered.
