On this page, we’ll discuss the benefits of hiring an Edwardsville Drunk Driving Accident Lawyer, the legal process for drunk driving crashes involving injuries, how drunk driving accident victims can seek compensation, the role of a DUI accident lawyer, and much more.
Drunk driving accidents can have a devastating effect on a victim and their family’s quality of life.
Injuries sustained in drunk driving accidents can cause permanent disabilities and prevent victims from enjoying a full quality of life.
Apart from the risk of serious injuries, victims often face a mountain of financial losses like unpaid medical bills and lost wages.

Seeking legal representation from a personal injury attorney who specializes in drunk driving accidents can make a significant difference in your case’s outcome.

Personal injury cases resulting from DUI accidents involve unique challenges that distinguish them from other traffic-related cases.
Proving the impairment of the driver at the time of the accident is critical, requiring evidence such as blood alcohol content (BAC) tests, reports from police officers, or witness testimony.
These cases often involve complex legal proceedings that may intertwine criminal DUI charges with civil claims for damages.
The determination of liability in DUI cases can be contentious, as defendants may argue against the level of intoxication or fault.
The emotional impact of DUI accidents can influence jury perceptions, potentially affecting the outcomes of both criminal and civil components of the case.
DUI accident cases present a myriad of legal complexities.
First, there’s the matter of determining the extent of a driver’s intoxication.
Intoxication levels vary, and state DUI laws can differ significantly, impacting liability and legal proceedings.
Degrees of fault can also make a DUI accident case complicated.
As in any other Illinois city, Edwardsville awards compensation based on the comparative negligence principle.
Under this principle, courts will determine apt settlement amounts based on the extent to which a driver is at fault.
For example, imagine that you were driving in Edwardsville, and a driver rear-ended your vehicle.
During the investigation, the police found that the intoxicated driver’s BAC (blood alcohol concentration) was .09%, which is higher than the legal state threshold of .08%.
The investigation also found that you abruptly stopped.
As a result, the courts found you 10% liable for your accident.
This means that the compensation you can recover is 90%, at most.
These factors add layers of complexity beyond typical car accident claims.
The nuances of a DUI case require specialized knowledge of traffic laws in Illinois.
This is where an experienced DUI car accident lawyer comes in.
As experts in car accidents and personal injury law, our Edwardsville DUI Accident Lawyers understand the unique challenges of drunk driving accident cases.
If you’ve been injured in a DUI accident at no fault of your own, having the right legal representation can make all the difference.
An experienced personal injury lawyer and their team will work to resolve your case while you focus on what’s most important: your physical and mental recovery.
The legal and investigative process for DUI accidents can be drawn out, especially if the intoxicated driver is facing criminal charges.
In these instances, the statute of limitations (filing deadline) for personal injury victims may be paused until those issues are resolved in criminal court.
Following a DUI accident, gathering evidence is crucial to building a strong case.
TorHoerman Law will meticulously investigate the circumstances surrounding your accident, collecting critical evidence such as police reports, breathalyzer results, and witness statements.
By thoroughly examining the details of the incident, we can construct a compelling case that establishes liability and strengthens your compensation claim.
Proving negligence is central to securing compensation in a DUI accident case.
A DUI accident attorney will work to demonstrate how the other party’s intoxication directly contributed to the accident and your resulting injuries.
Most importantly, your attorney will prove that the intoxicated driver is mostly to blame for your accident, enabling you to claim as much of your compensation as possible.
By drawing clear connections between the driver’s impaired state and the harm you’ve suffered, your lawyer can hold drunk drivers accountable for their actions and maximize your compensation.
Determining the full extent of your damages is essential for ensuring you receive fair compensation.
When you file a personal injury lawsuit against an at-fault driver, an attorney will assess all aspects of your losses, including medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and any long-term care costs or wrongful death damages.
By conducting a comprehensive evaluation of your damages, we can quantify your losses and pursue maximum compensation on your behalf.
Dealing with an insurance company by yourself can be an uphill battle.
An attorney can negotiate with the at-fault driver’s insurance provider on your behalf.
Experienced attorneys will negotiate with insurance providers to ensure you receive a fair settlement that reflects the true cost of your damages.
Personal injury lawyers will handle all communication and negotiation on your behalf, allowing you to focus on your recovery while we work tirelessly to secure the compensation you deserve.
If a fair settlement cannot be reached through negotiation, a DUI accident lawyer can take your case to civil court.
Your lawyers will present a compelling case on your behalf, advocating for your rights and seeking justice for the harm you’ve endured.
With an experienced car crash lawyer by your side, you can trust that your DUI personal injury case is in capable hands.
Hiring a lawyer ensures that you have an expert advocate who understands legal procedures and can effectively defend your rights and interests.
A lawyer can provide strategic advice, manage paperwork and procedural tasks, and represent you in negotiations or court.
Benefits of having an experienced attorney by your side include:
DUI accident lawyers have specialized knowledge and experience in handling cases involving drunk driving accidents.
Lawyers understand the intricacies of DUI laws, liability issues, and legal procedures, allowing them to provide effective guidance and representation tailored to your case.
Attorneys can anticipate challenges and advocate for your rights with confidence.
One of the primary benefits of hiring a DUI accident lawyer is the potential to maximize your compensation.
Attorneys have the resources and experience to thoroughly evaluate your damages and pursue full and fair compensation for your injuries and losses.
They’ll make sure that all relevant factors are considered, from medical expenses and lost wages to pain and suffering and long-term care costs, advocating for your right to receive the maximum amount of compensation available under the law.
Navigating the legal process can be overwhelming, especially if you’re recovering from injuries sustained in a DUI accident.
A DUI accident lawyer will handle all aspects of your case, from gathering evidence and negotiating with insurance companies to representing you in court if necessary.
Your law firm will make it their mission to alleviate stress and uncertainty, allowing you to focus on your recovery while they handle the legal process on your behalf.
Having a DUI accident lawyer on your side protects and represents your best interests throughout the legal process.
An attorney will advocate for your rights, challenging any attempts by insurance companies or opposing parties to minimize or deny your claim.
When you’re pursuing a personal injury lawsuit following a DUI car wreck, time is of the essence.
Putting off your claim can render you unable to recover compensation, especially if you don’t file your lawsuit within Illinois’statute of limitations.
In Illinois and Missouri, there are statutes of limitations that set deadlines for filing personal injury claims, including those stemming from DUI accidents.
These time limits vary depending on the state but generally range from one to two years from the date of the accident.
In the case of Illinois, the statute of limitations is two years.
This means you have two years from the moment of your DUI car accident injury to file your personal injury lawsuit.
Failing to file your claim within the applicable statute of limitations can result in your case being barred, meaning you lose the right to seek compensation for your injuries and losses.
It’s essential to take prompt action to ensure your legal rights are protected.
Evidence is critical in proving liability and establishing the extent of your damages in a DUI accident case.
Crucial evidence can deteriorate or be lost over time.
By acting quickly, you give your attorney the best chance of preserving and gathering essential evidence, such as accident reports, witness statements, and medical records.
This evidence can be instrumental in building a strong case on your behalf and maximizing your chances of success.
Witnesses to the accident may have crucial information that can support your claim, but their memories can fade over time.
By contacting a DUI accident lawyer quickly, you increase the likelihood of locating and interviewing witnesses while their recollections are still fresh.
This can provide valuable insights into the circumstances surrounding the accident and strengthen your case.
Insurance companies and opposing parties may employ delay tactics to undermine your claim or pressure you into accepting a low settlement.
By acting quickly and hiring a DUI accident lawyer early in the process, you can prevent these tactics from derailing your case.
Your attorney will work efficiently to move your case forward without unnecessary delays or obstacles.
After a DUI accident, the importance of expert legal representation cannot be overstated.
An experienced DUI accident lawyer and their team serve as your advocates, fighting to protect your rights and pursue the compensation you deserve.
Do you need a dedicated law firm that will fight for your rights and fair compensation?

In Edwardsville, drunk drivers face serious legal consequences, including criminal charges that may lead to fines, license suspension, and even imprisonment.
The severity of the penalties typically depends on the driver’s blood alcohol concentration (BAC), previous DUI offenses, and whether the drunk driving led to an accident causing injury or death.
Personal injury lawyers can also pursue civil claims against intoxicated drivers to recover compensation for accident victims.
An Edwardsville drunk driving accident lawyer can help victims by representing injured victims in civil court proceedings to secure compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and other damages incurred as a result of the accident.
They assist in filing insurance claims, negotiating settlements, and, if necessary, representing victims in court to ensure they receive full compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and other damages.
Lawyers also work to establish the at-fault driver’s negligence and liability based on DUI laws and accident evidence.
Victims of drunk driving accidents can seek compensation for a variety of damages, including medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and punitive damages in cases of gross negligence.
Personal injury lawyers often help secure funds to cover long-term care costs and emotional distress, aiming to restore the victim to their pre-accident financial and physical state as much as possible.
After a drunk driving accident, call the police immediately and make sure that an official report is made and the driver’s intoxication is documented.
Seek medical attention even if injuries seem minor, as symptoms may appear later.
Contacting a drunk driving accident lawyer soon after the accident to discuss your legal options and can expedite the process of filing a claim.
Document all damages and keep records of any expenses related to the accident.

Hands down one of the greatest group of people I had the pleasure of dealing with!
A very kind and professional staff.
Very positive experience. Would recommend them to anyone.
A very respectful firm.
