WHAT IS CONSIDERED DRUNK DRIVING?

In many states, including Louisiana, the legal limit for blood alcohol content (BAC) is 0.08%. If you are pulled over and your BAC is 0.08% or higher, you will likely be arrested for drunk driving. You may also be arrested for drunk driving if you are under the influence of other impairing substances.

HOW DO DRUNK DRIVING ACCIDENTS HAPPEN?

Drunk driving accidents can happen in many ways. The most common type of accident involves a drunk driver who is driving home from a bar or a party. In some cases, the drunk driver is driving with a friend who is also intoxicated. In other cases, the drunk driver is driving home alone.

In all cases, the drunk driver is ultimately responsible for the accident. In order to prove liability, our team at The Burrell Firm LLC may need to investigate the accident.

Our team may be able to prove liability by examining the facts of the accident. We may be able to show that the drunk driver:

Was driving at an excessive speed
Weaved in and out of traffic
Made an unsafe turn
Was driving recklessly in general

WHAT INJURIES ARE COMMON FROM A DRUNK DRIVING ACCIDENT?

Like most other car accidents, a drunk driving accident can result in a number of injuries. They can include:

Severe Injuries

Drunk driving accidents frequently result in serious injuries such as broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and burns. These injuries can lead to extensive medical treatment, long-term rehabilitation, and a diminished quality of life.

Emotional Trauma

Being involved in a drunk driving accident can leave lasting emotional scars. Victims may experience post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, and other psychological issues that require therapy and counseling.

Financial Hardships

The financial burden of a drunk driving accident can be overwhelming. Medical bills, property damage, lost wages, and ongoing care costs can quickly pile up, leaving victims and their families struggling to make ends meet.

Tragically, many drunk driving accidents also result in fatalities. Families who lose a loved one in a drunk driving accident not only have to cope with their grief but also face unexpected funeral and burial expenses.

WHAT DAMAGES CAN I RECOVER IN A DRUNK DRIVING ACCIDENT LAWSUIT?

If you were injured or if your loved one was killed in a drunk driving accident, you may be eligible to seek compensation. You may be eligible to seek compensation for:

Medical bills

Lost wages

Pain and suffering

Punitive damages
