Drunk Driving is Illegal, and an Accident Will Support a Personal Injury Case
According to the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles (NYSDMV), there are tough consequences for drunk driving in the criminal court system. However, a conviction does little to help victims harmed in a crash get back to normal. This is where a civil case helps.

Important to note: you will be able to file a claim or sue the driver even if their criminal case is not complete or they are not found guilty of driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. We will work to prove that they caused the crash because of their negligence behind the wheel, regardless of the outcome of their criminal case.
