A driver’s intoxication is important evidence when determining liability after a crash. We begin investigating immediately, follow the related criminal case, and work to ensure that any plea agreement includes an admission that can support the injury claim.
The facts of the collision still matter. For example, a rear-end impact may establish the other driver’s fault even without proof of intoxication; evidence of drunk driving strengthens the case but cannot make a driver more than 100 percent responsible.
We also investigate whether a bar, restaurant, or another establishment that served alcohol may share responsibility. That inquiry can reveal additional liable parties and insurance coverage.
