How a Drunk Driving Accident Attorney Can Help You

After a drunk driving accident, you are likely to be contacted by the at-fault driver’s insurance company. The insurance company may offer you a settlement right away, and it may sound like a lot of money. However, it is important to remember that the insurance company is not on your side. The insurance adjuster’s job is to save the company money, and they will do everything they can to pay you as little as possible.

That’s why it is so important to talk to a personal injury attorney before you accept a settlement offer. At the Law Office of Seni Popat, P.C., we will review the settlement offer and help you understand if it is fair. If it is not, we will negotiate with the insurance company to try to get you a better offer. If the insurance company won’t budge, we will file a lawsuit and take your case to court.

When you hire us, you can expect us to:

• Conduct a thorough investigation into your case
• Identify all potentially liable parties
• Calculate the full value of your damages
• Handle all communication with the insurance company
• Negotiate aggressively for a fair settlement
• Take your case to trial if a fair settlement cannot be reached

It is important to remember that the statute of limitations for personal injury claims in New York is three years from the date of the accident. If you do not file a lawsuit within this time frame, you may lose your right to compensation. That’s why it is important to talk to a lawyer as soon as possible after a drunk driving accident.

Drunk Driving Lawsuits in New York

In some cases, the at-fault driver may face criminal charges for driving under the influence. If they are convicted, they may face fines, probation, and even jail time. However, a criminal case will not get you the compensation you need to pay your bills and move forward with your life.

To get compensation, you will need to file a civil lawsuit against the at-fault driver. In a personal injury claim, you can seek compensation for a variety of economic and non-economic damages, including:

• Medical expenses
• Lost wages
• Reduced earning capacity
• Property damage
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Loss of consortium

If the at-fault driver was driving a company vehicle at the time of the accident, you may be able to sue their employer for damages. If the at-fault driver was over-served at a bar or restaurant, you may be able to sue the establishment under New York’s dram shop law.
