Handling Alcohol-Related Accidents
If you have been in an accident caused by another party's negligence, you may not know if alcohol played a factor in the cause of the accident. Since a drunk driving accident case differs from other cases, it is important to establish whether alcohol was involved. Our firm's attorneys and experts conduct an investigation in every vehicle accident case our office handles. If alcohol was involved, we almost always immediately file a lawsuit in the county where the accident occurred. Our firm's accident lawyers have experience handling the most complex accident cases for clients who were injured by drunk drivers throughout the country.
Depending on the severity of your injuries, or if a wrongful death occurred, you may be entitled to millions of dollars in compensation.
Seeking Maximum Compensation
Drunk driving accidents often result in significant expenses, including long-term or lifetime medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other costs that can run in the tens of millions of dollars. Unfortunately, insurance companies are quick to offer an inadequate settlement, and accident victims are often quick to accept it.
If you or a loved one has been injured, killed, disabled due to a drunk driver accident, the attorneys of Fitts Zehl, LLP can help you obtain maximum compensation for all of your accident-related expenses and damages.
