HAVE YOU BEEN INJURED BY A DRUNK DRIVER IN FLORIDA?
It's something that we all fear – a car accident with an alcohol-impaired driver. It seems that we hear about devastating accidents in Florida involving drunk drivers much too frequently. Even though statics are improving, nearly 12,000 people die every year in DUI-related accidents. A staggering 900,000 people are arrested for DUI/DWI and 1/3 of those are repeat offenders. The sad fact is that your chance of being in a car accident with a driver under the influence is much too high.
If you are a Florida DUI/DWI injury victim, you should know that the laws against this felony are harsh and you may be eligible for a monetary settlement. If a person causes an accident while DUI or DWI they are held to a much higher standard of liability than an ordinary car accident. Further, the bar, restaurant, nightclub or host who served too much alcohol to the driver may also be liable for damages and injuries. Because recovery from DUI/DWI offenders is extensive, it is important to work with Florida drunk driving injury accident attorneys who are experienced and knowledgeable. Only then can you get the full compensation that you deserve.

Steps To Take After Florida Drunk Driver Accidents
- Call the police to have formal report made completed.
- Make sure to get information from all involved drivers. It is very important to get all contact and personal information that is available on everyone's driver's license. Write down all of the information found on the vehicle registration and insurance documents.
- Try to obtain the contact info for all of the witnesses. Never assume law enforcement will identify or interview every witness.
- Take lots of pictures of the scene and your injuries. This ensures that that the evidence is not completely destroyed
- Only speak to the investigating police officer, and only about the accident and how it happened. A statement to other drivers, witnesses, and bystanders is admissible in court but those to a police officer are not.
- Get treatment for your injuries immediately.
- Consult with an experienced Florida drunk driver accident attorney.
