In Florida, if a driver has a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of more than 0.08%, they are drunk driving. Even having just a few drinks is enough to push someone over the legal limit. The drunk driver may feel fine, but, in fact, they likely have problems with “concentration, short-term memory loss, speed control, reduced information processing capability (e.g., signal detection, visual search), [and] impaired perception,” according to the National Highway Safety Traffic Administration (NHTSA).
In 2023, drunk driving caused 5,114 crashes in Florida, killing 352 people and injuring 3,086 more. Drunk driving car crashes can have long-term health effects that impact your ability to work, complete daily activities, and live independently. They also can cause severe psychological distress, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). If you or a loved one in Coral Springs, Deerfield Beach, or anywhere in South Florida was the victim of a drunk driving car crash, you have legal rights to seek compensation for your injuries.
After your accident, the police may have arrested and pressed charges against the drunk driver. Many victims believe that if the driver is found guilty, the driver will have to compensate the victim as part of their punishment. Unfortunately, this is not how the law works. For example, while the police charge the driver in a Palm Beach County criminal court, you need to file a lawsuit against them in a Palm Beach County civil court to secure compensation for your injuries.
You need a personal injury lawyer with a track record of success in fighting for justice for victims of drunk drivers; you need Rader Law Group. Our attorneys will aggressively pursue compensation to cover your bills for doctor and hospital visits, rehabilitation, medication, therapy, lost wages, and future lost wages. We will also fight for you to receive compensation for the pain and suffering this has caused in your life.
As soon as you are physically able, or as soon as a friend or family member can do so on your behalf, contact us to start working on your case. The sooner we start investigating, the easier it will be to find evidence, footage, and witnesses to support your case. While Florida’s statute of limitations is two years, if you wait that long it will be difficult, if not impossible, to prove your case. Our experienced attorneys are expert negotiators and settle most cases out of court. Sometimes, though, the opposing party refuses to provide a fair settlement, in which case our fierce litigators will fight your case in court to seek justice for you.
If you were injured by a drunk driver, call Rader Law Group today. We offer free case evaluations and only charge legal fees if we win your case.
