Drunk driving accidents are often considered catastrophic injuries. Drunk drivers may not be in control of their facilities, and may engage in dangerous practices such as speeding, weaving between lanes, and driving the wrong way on the highway. This can lead to extreme collisions and life-threatening personal injuries for victims. If this sounds like your situation, do not risk your financial future by dealing with your claim yourself. Hire an attorney for the professional counsel you need for a stronger claim. An attorney can help you maximize your results.
It is against the law to operate a vehicle in Washington with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level at or above 0.08% as an adult 21 or older, 0.04% as a commercial driver, and 0.02% as someone under 21. The penalties for breaking the state’s DUI laws can range from 24 hours to four years or longer in jail, as well as fines up to $5,000. If the drunk driver causes personal injuries or deaths, the penalties can be more severe. The driver may face a charge such as vehicular manslaughter, and decades behind bars. The driver could also face civil liability.
If you or a loved one has suffered injuries caused by a drunk or drugged driver, call the drunk driving collision attorneys at Colburn Law today. The state will prosecute a drunk driver for his or her crimes. It is up to you and your attorney, however, to present a civil case against the driver for the damages he or she caused you. You have three years from the date of your accident to file a civil claim against a drunk driver. The clock may begin at the conclusion of a criminal case rather than the date of your accident, in some situations. A civil claim will seek monetary damages from the drunk driver, such as reimbursement for your accident-related medical costs, pain and suffering, lost wages, and/or wrongful death damages.

If you wish to hold a reckless drunk driver responsible for your car accident, you or your attorney must prove fault. This takes establishing, through a preponderance of the evidence, that the DUI driver breached a duty of care to you and caused your car accident. A drunk driving accident lawyer from Colburn Law can help you gather evidence against the driver, such as the results of a breathalyzer test or a police report stating that the officer was aware of the driver’s intoxication. Hiring an attorney can take the burden of proof off you, so you can focus on your personal injuries.
You may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and more. A trusted personal injury attorney near me can help you protect your rights and guide you through the process.
