Drunk driving is an epidemic in this country. It destroys families, as drunk driving causes many crashes that result in one or more fatalities. In fact, about 30 people die each day in drunk driving crashes throughout the United States, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). When you survive such a crash, your injuries may significantly complicate your life. If you suffered injuries in a drunk driver-caused crash, you may be entitled to compensation for your losses. A Nashville drunk driving accident lawyer may be able to help you fight for justice.

We Want to Support You
After involvement in a drunk driving crash, you likely have a lot on your mind. You may be wondering what the first steps to take are, or if you have taken appropriate action so far. Car accidents are stressful enough. If an impaired driver causes an accident, it can be much more tragic. The damage can be worse, and the injuries may be more severe. No matter what the aftermath of this accident looks like for you, you should not feel as though you need to prioritize legal matters and put your health and recovery second.
We may be able to handle every aspect of your case. While you focus on healing, we will do what we do best. Once you discuss your case with one of our representatives, you will be connected with one of our drunk driving accident lawyers. They will want to know the details of the accident and review and valuate your damages. Your lawyer may be able to identify the liable party and communicate with them, their lawyer, and their insurance company so you do not have to.
If the insurance adjuster we speak with refuses to agree to a reasonable settlement, we may take your case to court and continue to fight for you there. Any auto accident is unexpected and can upend your life. You may be unable to return to work for a while due to your injuries, or you may be unable to carry out the same tasks at work that you could prior to the accident. You may be able to recover lost wages or receive compensation for lost job opportunities.
We Can Help Build Your Case
Besides dealing with the defendant and anyone else on the other side on your behalf, there is more we can help out with to create a solid case. We may also take care of the following:
- Gathering evidence such as photos and/or video footage of the accident or taking pictures and/or videos of the area after the accident
- Interviewing eyewitnesses for their account of what happened
- Acquiring your medical records
- Hiring accident reconstructionists to put on display how the accident occurred and having medical experts prove the connection between your injuries and the accident
- Obtaining the police report, as it contains information that is crucial to your case
- If possible, getting the breathalyzer test results
We will keep you updated throughout the legal process. We want to achieve the best possible outcome for you and your family. Call today for a free consultation. We do not shy away from tough cases, and we work on a contingency-fee-basis, which means that you pay us nothing upfront for our services.
We only get paid if you do through a settlement or court award. We take a fee from whatever form of monetary compensation you end up with. We want to begin work on your case. The sooner you contact us, the sooner we can get started.
