Drunk Driving Victims

Remember that the only difference between a drunk driving crash and death is CHANCE!

$Confidential (Bad Faith) Recovery for young man who was left as a tetraplegic following a head on motor vehicle crash caused by a drunk driver. The drunk driver died in the accident, but left our client with catastrophic life changing injuries. As part of the recovery, we were able to reduce his health insurance lien from over $650,000.00 down to $25,000.00.

$4million+ Recovery for the family of a young man killed when a drunk driver struck him as he was going down the street. The drunk driver fled the scene and was later caught.

$Confidential Corporate liability for punitive damages – Confidential recovery for a woman who sustained soft tissue injuries when a landscaping truck driven by a drunk driver cut her off and caused a crash. We successfully argued that while insurance coverage generally does not apply to punitive damages, Florida law permits insurance companies to pay for punitive damages when the company was independently negligent in allowing a drunk driver to use their vehicle.

The insurance company failed to tender their nominal $10,000.00 insurance policy after we sent them a timed demand. Through litigation, we discovered that the drunk driver took a cocktail of four medications and a 12 oz Budweiser just hours before the crash and did not remember anything for the next 36 hours.
