Car Accidents and DUI

Reaction time, visual clarity, and decision making can be impacted by drugs and alcohol, making anyone who takes them before getting behind the wheel a danger to the other people on the road.

When a driver who is intoxicated causes a wreck, there are legal processes in order to hold them accountable for their actions. The driver may be arrested, face monetary penalties, and even have their license taken away, but the injuries and monetary damages suffered by their victims usually are not considerations in the criminal process.

When you sustain injuries in a car or truck wreck caused by a driver on drugs or alcohol, you have a right to seek full compensation for all of your losses. Medical bills, lost income, property damages, and the impact to your quality of life will all be taken into account in a personal injury suit.

Whether your injuries are minor or severe, when you are injured by an intoxicated driver, you deserve the full amount of compensation allowable by law. Car accident attorney James Vaught is prepared to work for you and your family.
