Our personal injury lawyers have recovered compensation for victims in numerous drunk driving accident cases. Both Bart Bernard and Sandee Hart are members of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum for their success on behalf of clients with seven-figure damage claims. However, we handle all types of drunk driving injury cases, from what may appear to be a small injury to herniated discs to wrongful death.

We advocate for fair compensation, including punitive damages

When someone is injured in a regular car accident, he or she can recover for doctor bills, loss of earnings, and pain and suffering. In a drunk driving accident, the victim might be able to recover for all of these damages plus punitive damages. While state prosecutors might have filed a criminal case that could send the drunk driver to classes or jail, it takes a civil drunk driving case to provide financial relief to victims and their families.

Auto / car insurance companies want to keep drunk driving accident cases far away from a courtroom and jury. They are usually willing to settle. An experienced personal injury lawyer can mean the difference between a settlement and a just settlement. If insurance companies do not accept a fair settlement offer, we are fully prepared to take your drunk driver liability case to the jury.

We usually accept car and truck accident claims on a contingency fee basis. This means that you won't pay attorney's fees unless we're successful in collecting damages on your behalf. We also advance other costs and expenses.
