Nashville, Tennessee Drunk Driving Accident Attorney
When a driver makes the decision to drive drunk, they are breaking the law. Police are on the lookout for drivers operating their car under the influence. Not catching them in time sometimes results in a drunk driving accident that can cause serious injuries. I have represented clients at the Law Office of Bart Durham in Nashville, Tennessee who have been severely hurt because of the negligence of an impaired driver.
At Bart Durham Injury Law, in Nashville, Tennessee, my team is aggressive in holding drunk drivers accountable for the damage they have done to my clients in a drunk driving accident. Being an inattentive driver is one thing. Driving drunk is a deliberate act that puts everyone that the drunk driver comes in contact with at risk. Lower inhibitions create reckless driving and traveling at excessive speeds, causing an accident. It is a recipe for disaster, injury, and even death.
All documentation will be secured to establish your drunk driving accident case. That will include the driving record and criminal record of the individual who caused the accident. The police report will be gone through thoroughly as well. Data related to their blood alcohol content and the results of any field sobriety tests will be reviewed as well.
Drunk driving may be a criminal matter, but their disposition following a trial has little bearing on your case. The standards are different in civil court and I would work diligently to prove that the driver was negligent and inebriated while operating their vehicle. You are entitled to compensation for your medical bills and pain and suffering if your are a victim of a drunk driver. A drunk driving accident could also result in payment for punitive damages due to the extent of the negligence.
Hire a competent, experienced drunk driving accident attorney. The lawyer and his staff do the work. There is enough stress in life without being your own lawyer.
