Process

How We Handle a Drunk Driving Injury Claim

1

Review the crash and injuries

We gather the initial facts, identify the injuries, and discuss medical care, lost income, vehicle damage, and insurance contact.

2

Gather records and evidence

Police reports, medical records, wage information, photographs, and insurer documents help us assess liability and the claimed losses.

3

Explain the claim position

We explain which losses the evidence supports and how medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, and future treatment fit the claim.

4

Negotiate with the insurer

We communicate with the insurance company and negotiate a settlement based on the available evidence.

5

Pursue litigation when appropriate

When negotiation does not resolve the matter, we assess whether a personal injury lawsuit is the right next step.

How We Approach Drunk Driving Injury Claims

Records before settlement discussions

Medical records, police reports, wage documents, and insurer letters help define the claim. We review those materials before discussing a settlement position.

Separate treatment of each loss

Medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future treatment need different support. We organize each loss so the claim reflects the actual harm.

A clear limit on fit

This service is not DUI defense or a criminal case. We handle the civil injury claim, so someone seeking defense against criminal charges needs a different legal service.

What This Injury Claim Work Can Change

A documented claim connects medical treatment and lost income to the crash.

Insurance discussions follow the evidence instead of relying on a quick account of events.

Future treatment needs receive attention before a settlement decision is made.

Clients receive responsive communication and case updates during the claims process.

The review includes pain and suffering when the facts support that part of the claim.

Questions About Drunk Driving Injury Claims

How does a claim move from the first call to the last step?

The claim moves from intake and record review to investigation, insurance negotiation, and possible litigation. We first discuss the crash and injuries. Then we gather police and medical records, assess liability, and organize losses. We explain settlement discussions before they begin, and we discuss a lawsuit if negotiation does not resolve the matter.

Which records should I bring to the first consultation?

Crash reports, medical records, insurance letters, wage information, and repair documents help start the review. Photos and contact details for witnesses may also help. Bring what you have, even if the file is incomplete. We identify the records that need follow-up and explain how each document may support liability or a claimed loss.

Why does a criminal DUI case not settle the injury claim?

A criminal DUI case and a civil injury claim serve different purposes. The criminal case addresses alleged offenses against the state. The civil claim seeks compensation for injuries and financial losses. We review the civil evidence, including medical records and wage information, even when a criminal case also exists.

How does the fee arrangement affect the first consultation?

The first consultation is free, and we discuss the fee arrangement during the claim assessment. The claim's facts, records, liability issues, and possible litigation affect the work involved. We explain the agreement in plain language before representation begins, so the client understands the arrangement and next steps.

What should I do after an insurer asks for a statement?

An insurer's request deserves review before you provide a detailed statement or sign a release. The statement can affect how the company views fault and injury. Keep the request, avoid guessing about medical issues, and send the communication to us for review. We explain the appropriate response based on the claim.

Related Questions

Can I handle the insurance claim without an attorney?

You can handle an insurance claim yourself, but a lawyer adds review of liability, medical proof, wage loss, and settlement terms. A direct claim may fit a minor loss with no disputed injury. Serious injuries, ongoing treatment, disputed fault, or a release request call for careful legal review before you decide.
