Despite a push by lawmakers and law enforcement officers to crack down on drunk driving, impaired drivers cause an average of 13,000 fatalities in New York every year. Countless other innocent victims suffer injuries in accidents caused by drunk drivers.
These accidents result from the impaired driver’s lack of judgment or slowed reflexes and often lead to life altering injuries or death of innocent victims simply attempting to go about their daily lives.
If you or a loved one have sustained injury, either physical or emotional, as the result of an accident caused by an impaired driver, it is important to understand your rights and your options for pursuing compensation for your losses.
If you have been injured or lost a loved one due to the careless actions of a drunk driver, you may be entitled to compensation for your losses, including:
- Medical bills
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of consortium
- Ongoing medical bills
- Vehicle repair or replacement
Over the decades, we have gone toe-to-toe with big insurance companies and fought to secure compensation for victims of drunk driving accidents who have suffered life altering injuries and losses, including:
- Broken bones
- Spinal cord injuries
- Brain injuries
- Amputations
- Back injuries
- Fatalities
At Sackstein Sackstein & Lee, LLP, we understand the fear and worry associated with automobile accidents caused by drunk drivers. With more than 58 years of combined experience, our lawyers have the experience and knowledge needed to help you pursue the maximum compensation for your injuries or losses.
While we have the aggressive approach needed to help you recover financial compensation for your losses, we understand that making your family whole after a tragic accident is more complex than obtaining money. We take the time to understand your family’s unique needs and work to help you address each and every one of your issues as quickly and effectively as possible.
Even if you have been involved in a DUI, DWI or drunk driving related accident and feel no immediate injuries, it is important to consult an attorney and seek medical attention to rule out any unforeseen injuries that may present themselves later.
In addition to our legal services, we offer referrals on the proper medical experts to help you make sound choices on your medical care and treatment to ensure that you receive the attention you are entitled to.
To further reduce your fear and worry during this trying time, our attorneys are happy to discuss your case during a free consultation and will represent you on a contingency basis. This means that you pay no legal fees unless we are successful in helping you recover compensation for you losses.
