Drunk Driver
Motor vehicle accidents caused by drunk or impaired drivers are all too common in Louisiana. If you or a loved one have been injured as a result of the fault of an intoxicated driver, you may be able to recover punitive damages. You need an experienced attorney, and we have a thorough understanding of the law and successfully handled many drunk driver cases.
Some common injuries suffered in drunk driver cases include:- Broken bones
- Cuts / lacerations
- Head trauma
- Concussion/brain injury
- Spine injuries
- Back injuries
- Neck injuries
- Shoulder injuries
- Internal organ injuries
Although the consumption of alcohol is the most common form of intoxication, the law also imposes punitive damages on those who are impaired as a result of using illegal drugs or the abuse of prescription medications. When handling impaired driver cases, our attorneys often retain an expert (usually a toxicologist) to assess the positive test results of the impaired driver and give their opinion on the effect of the intoxicating substance on the driver’s ability to operate a vehicle safely. This helps us build the strongest case possible in pursuit of recovering damages for you.
