It’s well known that driving under the influence of alcohol is a crime and there’s never an excuse for drunk driving. Drunk drivers can cause accidents that result in serious injuries or even death. At Cruz & Associates, we’re passionate about keeping the communities of Phoenix, Tempe, Scottsdale, and Glendale safe from drunk drivers.
If you’ve been injured in a drunk driving accident, our experienced accident attorneys are here to fight for you and get you the compensation you deserve.
What to Do if You’ve Been in a Drunk Driving Accident
It’s estimated that one in three accidents in the United States involves a drunk driver. If you’ve recently been in an accident caused by someone you believe was under the influence of alcohol, your first step should be to make sure they don’t leave the scene and call the police immediately, if possible. Look for evidence that this person is intoxicated, such as visible alcohol in their car or a staggering gait. Don’t hesitate to use your cell phone to record evidence of their behavior. Then, you’ll want to contact the insurance companies and an attorney at Cruz & Associates as soon as possible so we can begin helping you with your case.
How Our Lawyers Can Help You
Drunk drivers may be defensive or deny they were under the influence at the time of the accident. There’s no excuse for injuring another person due to your own negligence, so our team will be diligent to ensure you’re not responsible for causing this accident.
Discovering the Details of the Case
Whether you were injured by a drunk driver in another car or were in a car with a drunk driver, our team can help you identify the important details that led to this accident. We’ll work with local law offices to review any video evidence and witness accounts. Our experienced attorneys will gather all the necessary information a judge would require to rule in your favor.
Getting the Compensation You Deserve
After a drunk driving accident, you may be entitled to compensation for medical care, lost work, pain and suffering, and more. Juries often have little sympathy for drunk drivers, so the compensation you need should be easy to obtain. With our team on your side, we’ll work to maximize your drunk driving accident settlement so you have everything you need.
