Victims of drunk driving accidents often grapple with the physical, emotional, and financial aftermath. However, amidst the chaos and uncertainty, there is a beacon of hope for those seeking justice and compensation. With the dedicated legal assistance of Ace Law Group, victims can pursue damages from various sources, ensuring that they receive the support and restitution they rightfully deserve.
Drunk Driver’s Insurance
The intoxicated driver’s insurance coverage serves as a primary avenue for seeking compensation in drunk driving accident cases. Typically, the drunk driver’s insurance company will be responsible for covering some or all of the victim’s damages. These damages may encompass medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering.
However, insurance companies often attempt to minimize payouts or deny claims altogether, underscoring the importance of expert legal representation. Ace Law Group specializes in advocating for their client’s rights and negotiating with insurance companies to secure fair and just compensation.
Third-Party Liability
In addition to the drunk driver’s insurance, victims may be able to seek compensation from third parties who share responsibility for the accident. This can include establishments that served alcohol to the intoxicated driver, social hosts who provided alcohol at a private event, or employers who permitted an employee to drive under the influence.
These third parties may carry liability insurance policies that can cover damages for victims. Ace Law Group excels at identifying all potential sources of liability and aggressively pursuing compensation on behalf of its clients.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage
Unfortunately, not all drunk drivers maintain adequate insurance coverage to fully compensate their victims. In cases where the drunk driver is uninsured or underinsured, victims may turn to their insurance policies for relief if they have uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. In accidents involving drivers with insufficient or no insurance, this type of coverage protects individuals.
Ace Law Group possesses the expertise to navigate the complexities of insurance policies and ensure that victims receive the maximum compensation available under their coverage.
Criminal Restitution Orders
In addition to civil remedies, victims of drunk driving accidents may pursue restitution through the criminal justice system. If the court convicts the drunk driver of driving under the influence (DUI) or related offenses, it may order them to pay restitution to the victim.
This restitution can encompass medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, property damage, and other losses stemming from the accident. Ace Law Group has a wealth of experience in representing victims in criminal restitution proceedings, defending their rights, and advocating for the compensation they legally deserve.
