You Have Rights if You Get Injured by a Drunk Driver

Drunk Driving Accidents

Drunk Driving Accidents and narcotic related injuries and deaths happen almost every day in New Jersey. Someone that gets behind the wheel after drinking or taking drugs puts the lives of others in serious jeapordy. Because the act of driving while under the influence is an obviously negligent act, the Courts are very sympathetic to persons injured due to drunk drivers. If you have been involved in such an accident, you may be entitled to compensation. 

At Brunnock and Fleming, our priority is helping accident victims, and that includes those who were injured by a drunk driver. Every year in the United States, well over 1 million people are involved in accidents or arrests resulting from driving while intoxicated. Drunk driving deaths account for about 40% of all traffic related deaths each year.  

New Jersey has not taken this rise in drunk driving accidents and alcohol related deaths lightly. Stricter laws are now in place in an effort to discourage the practice of drinking and driving, as well as more severe punishments for drivers who break these laws. A DWI is the crime of "Driving While Intoxicated." 

Your Legal Options

Drunk driving accidents are a sad, inevitable reality in today's world. If you or someone you know and love has been tragically injured or killed at the hands of a careless drunk driver, you have every right to seek monetary damages and compensation for your medical bills and quality of life losses. Regardless of the circumstances surrounding the incident, a ridiculous and preventable crime like drunk driving cannot go unpunished. You owe it yourself and to society as a whole to make drunk drivers pay dearly for what they have done, for your own peace of mind and to prevent these negligent, thoughtless drivers from harming anyone else.

Injury or death as the result of a tragic drunk driving accident is never something that is easily dealt with. At Brunnock and Fleming, we are here to help you in any way we can. Our diligent and experienced team of attorneys has the legal knowledge, expertise, and resources you need to get the compensation you deserve. It will cost you nothing to come to our offices and speak with us about your case.
