Common Injuries in Davie Drunk Driving Accidents
The injuries sustained in a drunk driving collision can range from serious to permanently life-altering. Some of the most common injuries suffered in drunk driving accidents include:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord damage
- Broken and shattered bones
- Internal bleeding and organ damage
- Severe lacerations, burns, and road rash
- Amputations
- Neck and back injuries
- Facial injuries and permanent scarring or disfigurement
- Wrongful death
- Psychological trauma, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and depression
Even injuries that may appear minor at first can develop into long-term or chronic conditions. This is one reason why it is critical to seek medical attention immediately after a crash and to consult with a Davie drunk driving accident lawyer before settling any claim.
Compensation In A Davie Drunk Driving Accident Claim
No attorney can guarantee that you will recover a specific amount of compensation for your claim. However, once our Davie drunk driving accident lawyer has thoroughly evaluated the facts of your case, we will provide you with an estimate of what we believe is a fair settlement for your claim.
In a successful Davie car accident claim, you could recover economic damages such as current and future medical expenses, current and future lost wages, property damage, and other financial losses and costs incurred due to the accident and your injuries.
You could also recover non-economic damages, including pain and suffering, mental and emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, loss of consortium, scarring and disfigurement, disability, and other intangible losses and costs.
In some cases, you could also be awarded punitive damages in a Davie drunk driving accident claim. As outlined in Florida Statute §768.72(2), “A defendant may be held liable for punitive damages only if the trier of fact, based on clear and convincing evidence, finds that the defendant was personally guilty of intentional misconduct or gross negligence.”
At Rosen Injury Law, our drunk driving accident attorneys will fight to recover all available damages to maximize your recovery.
Liability in a Davie Drunk Driving Accident Case
Our Davie personal injury lawyers will carefully investigate the facts of your accident to identify all potentially liable parties. In addition to the drunk driver, other parties could be at fault for your injuries.
Some potentially liable parties include the vehicle’s owner, an employer (if the driver was on the job at the time of the accident), and, under some circumstances, a business or person who served alcohol to the driver.
Florida’s No-Fault and PIP Insurance Laws
Florida is a no-fault auto insurance state. That means that after a car accident, you must first seek compensation through your own Personal Injury Protections (PIP) coverage, even if you were not at fault.
Florida law requires all vehicle owners to carry at least $10,000 in PIP coverage. PIP coverage will pay 80% of your necessary medical expenses and 60% of your lost wages up to the policy limit, without requiring proof of fault. However, this coverage is often woefully insufficient for your economic damages and does not compensate you for non-economic damages like pain and suffering.
Once you have exhausted your PIP coverage, or if your injuries are enough to meet Florida’s “serious injury” threshold, you have the right to file a claim against the at-fault driver and their insurer.
At Rosen Injury Law, our Davie drunk driving accident lawyer will help you navigate the claims landscape, protect your rights, and work to secure maximum compensation for all your economic and non-economic damages.
How a Davie Drunk Driving Accident Lawyer Can Help You
A Davie drunk driving accident lawyer can thoroughly investigate your accident to identify all potentially liable parties. They can help establish and accurately value all your current and future economic and non-economic damages and determine whether you should aggressively pursue punitive damages.
Your attorney can build your strongest case and work to reach a fair settlement as quickly as possible, and if a fair settlement is not reached, they can take your case to trial to demand the full compensation you deserve. Your chances of securing maximum compensation are much higher when an experienced Davie drunk driving accident lawyer represents you.
