Get the Best Accident Injury Attorney If You’ve Been Hit by a Drunk Driver
If you’ve been in an accident involving a drunk driver, it’s critical that you get the best auto accident injury attorney you can to help you prove your case and get you the compensation you deserve. Unfortunately, a drunk driver with a high blood alcohol content has lost much of their ability to maintain control of their car or truck. With their senses and judgement impaired, people driving drunk often don’t realize how fast they’re going, so drunk drivers are also often speeding, sometimes way above the speed limit. Mix higher speeds with impaired judgement behind the wheel, and the results can be devastating.
What to Do if You’re Hit by a Drunk Driver Who Caused Injuries or Death
Speak with a highly qualified drunk driver accident attorney immediately to help you protect your rights. The Lawyers at Sauter Sullivan know what it takes to quickly begin collecting the information you’ll need to prove your case. It’s not always as easy as you might think to legally prove that a driver who caused your injuries or someone’s death was in fact legally drunk. Maybe police at the accident scene subjected the driver to sobriety tests, and perhaps the hospital took a blood sample to measure the driver’s blood alcohol content. But maybe not. But even if proper sobriety and blood alcohol tests weren’t taken, other evidence and factors can also help you prove a driver was drunk while driving.
