Anyone who has been stopped in Fort Lauderdale and arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol is at risk of serious penalties such as suspension of their driver’s license, heavy fines, jail time or community service, and more.

Drinking and Driving

This is a serious crime that can be prosecuted as a felony criminal offense. Drunk driving could lead to a car crash because the driver lost control of their vehicle. Drunk drivers are subject to legal consequences and personal injury claims or lawsuits by anyone that was seriously injured in the accident. When you have been involved in a drinking and driving accident, law enforcement can confirm the driver’s level of intoxication through urine analysis, a blood test, or a breathalyzer.

The consequences of drinking and driving can be catastrophic for the driver, their passengers, and everyone on the road. If you or anyone you know has been injured in this type of accident, you are entitled to compensation. Drunk drivers that cause accidents should be financially responsible for their actions.

If a drunk person gets behind the wheel, they are putting their lives and anyone they share the road with in danger. Drunk driving is an extremely dangerous activity that could end in a fatal accident because the person driving does not have the awareness to avoid or minimize a collision. Knowing this is important because if you have been a victim of a drunk driver, then you could be entitled to compensation.

You can protect yourself after the accident if you hire a professional drunk driving accident attorney. According to Florida DUI and Administrative Suspension Laws, a driver is guilty of driving under the influence of alcohol when their blood alcohol content is .08 percent or above.

During the accident, you could suffer a neck injury, back injury, brain injury, or internal organ damage. In the worst scenario, a drunk driving accident could cause the death of an innocent person. When that situation happens, it is a wrongful death, and the family members of the victim are entitled to compensation. Tucker Law understands the pain and loss in those situations. A lawsuit can provide you monetary compensation for your loss, even though we know the pain will continue.

How We Work On Injury Case

Our Usual Process

  • Get Started Right Away. The first thing you should do is hire an attorney with knowledge and litigation experience involving injuries. Tucker Law has obtained large six figure jury verdicts in car crashes and slip and falls.

  • Medical Treatment. Following a car crash, medical treatment is paramount for you to get better, but also important for documenting your injuries. Insurance companies pounce on folks that don’t seek medical care immediately after a car crash.
  • Vehicle Loss. Whether your car is in need of repairs or a total loss, Tucker Law will help explain your options for fixing or replacing your vehicle. We know that even when folks are seriously injured, the loss of use of your vehicle can be more devastating than the physical pain.

  • Negotiation. Because the majority of case settle without going to trial, negotiation is an important part of your case. Negotiation doesn’t end with filing a lawsuit–and it generally includes much more than simply dollars and cents. Tucker Law will begin negotiating aspects of your case almost as soon as we are hired and usually continues until the moment a jury reads their verdict.
  • Jury Trial. Some lawyers have never seen the inside of a court room. Insurance companies know which attorneys file suit and which ones won’t. Tucker Law tries cases and that has resulted in better results for clients.
