Johnston, Moore & Weston of Huntsville, Alabama, aggressively pursues compensation for personal injury or wrongful death resulting from a drunk driving or drug-related accident. Our veteran trial lawyers explore every legal avenue to secure comprehensive damages.
Unforgivable
Despite tougher drunk driving laws, over 40% of all traffic fatalities are alcohol-related. In 2006 alone, 475 Alabama deaths stemmed from sharing the road with an intoxicated driver.
Several Alabama laws help injury victims or families recover damages for the inexcusable negligence of causing a crash under the influence of alcohol or drugs. We exhaust all sources of potential liability to maximize results:
- Claims against the drunk driver’s insurance company
- Uninsured/underinsured motorist claims if the intoxicated driver was not fully covered
- Dram shop claims against a bar or restaurant that served alcohol to an already intoxicated person
- Social host claims against a business if the alcohol was served at a company-sponsored gathering
- Furnishing to a minor (dram shop) claims against a liquor store, convenience store, or bar that sold or served any alcohol to a driver under age 21
If it was your own teenager who crashed while intoxicated,
you may have a claim for their injuries. Under Alabama law, the liquor establishment or other party that provided alcohol to an underage person can be held liable for property damage and bodily injury from a resulting drunk driving (DUI) accident. Contact us to discuss your case.
A car wreck is hard enough on a family, let alone a senseless and preventable drunk driving accident. Families are devastated to know that their loved one is lying in a hospital or no longer living because a nightclub wanted to make a few extra bucks, or because a drug addict high on meth thought nothing of careening down the highway.
