Seek Justice After An Accident With A Drunk Driver
The great tragedy of most car, truck, motorcycle and other vehicular accidents is that they are entirely preventable. Statistics indicate that most driving accidents are caused by drunk driving, speeding or other examples of careless and inattentive driving.
An injury or death caused by a drunk driver is a needless tragedy. If you were hit by a drunk driver or another negligent driver and were injured, you have a right to file a civil lawsuit to seek compensation for your injuries. A skilled lawyer can help you seek justice.
The attorneys at Culpepper Kurland have established a reputation for aggressively pursuing personal injury lawsuits on behalf of injured victims of DUI-related accidents. We maintain a network of medical, engineering and toxicology consultants who assist us in investigating such accidents.
We Bring A Unique Perspective
Attorney Brett Kurland is a former state prosecutor with extensive experience in DUI-related crimes. If you or a loved one has been injured in an automobile accident involving a drunk driver, you may be entitled to punitive damages. If you want attorneys who will go after drunk drivers, contact Culpepper Kurland before you speak to an insurance company. We are eager to hold drunk drivers accountable for the severe and sometimes fatal injuries they cause to innocent victims.
We Seek Maximum Compensation
No one should have to suffer a personal injury because someone else has decided that it is all right to drive while intoxicated. If you or a family member has suffered a DUI-related injury, we will aggressively seek maximum compensation on your behalf.
Drunk driving injury victims can sue for damages such as:
- Medical expenses and lost wages
- Future medical care and expenses
- Pain and suffering
- Punitive damages
We will negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf. If it is unwilling to offer a reasonable settlement, we will not hesitate to take it to trial to seek the compensation you need and deserve.
