North Tampa Drunk Driving Accident Injury Lawyers
Last year, drunk or impaired driving caused 15,349 crashes in Florida and killed 799 people. Those are absolutely tragic numbers. Tampa isn’t the most dangerous city in the state for DUIs, but it is still dangerous. North Tampa is home to the University of South Florida, where many college students engage in drinking and partying behaviors. It’s also home to Busch Gardens, an attraction where tourists and residents alike tend to drink and unwind. There’s no excuse for getting behind the wheel intoxicated, especially with the prevalence of ridesharing services such as Uber and Lyft in North Tampa, but unfortunately, people still do so. If you were hit and injured by a drunk driver, contact our North Tampa drunk driving accident injury lawyers as soon as possible. Drunk driving can be prosecuted by the state, but it can also be a civil case where you recover monetary damages for your injuries. Our aggressive team is dedicated to holding the drunk driver accountable, giving you closure, and securing maximum compensation. You don’t have to pay us unless we win your case. Call now to schedule a FREE consultation with our North Tampa office and learn more about what we can do to get justice for you and your family!
Our Aggressive North Tampa Drunk Driving Accident Injury Lawyers Stand Up For Your Rights.
Getting hit by a drunk driver can be catastrophic. Depending on how severe your injuries were, you may suffer pain for weeks, months, or even forever, if the injuries are permanent. You may have to take off work for weeks or months until you recover, or have to find a different job entirely, or may not be able to work ever again. You may be faced with tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical bills. You may have lost someone who was with you, a tragedy that will change your life forever. No amount of money can make up for your injuries or loss, but the insurance company of the drunk driver who hit you (or your own insurance company, if the driver didn’t have insurance) is supposed to pay you for the costs of your medical bills, lost wages, and suffering you endured.
You shouldn’t have to worry about paying your bills in addition to healing when the accident wasn’t your fault. Unfortunately, even in drunk driving cases where you were clearly the victim, insurance companies will do everything in their power to avoid paying you the full amount your injuries are truly worth. They care more about their bottom line than your best interests. That’s why you need an experienced legal team on your side who can advocate for maximum compensation! Our North Tampa drunk driving accident injury lawyers will take the time to listen to your story, investigate your accident, set realistic expectations, explain and simplify your legal options, and even take the insurance company to court, if necessary, to get a fair settlement. We will do everything in our power to get you paid.
How Much Can Drunk Driving Victims Recover In Damages?
How much you can win in a lawsuit filed against the drunk driver’s insurance company depends on many different factors, including the extent of your injuries and the circumstances of the crash. It’s impossible to accurately understand the value of your injuries without first consulting a local law firm. However, the total costs of your accident could end up being much more than the insurance company led you to believe or much more than you have researched online. You may be able to win damages for…
- ambulatory transport/air transport
- surgery/surgeries
- hospitalization
- medical devices
- medications
- physical therapy
- chiropractic care
- mental health counseling
- copays
- deductibles
- rehabilitation
- lost wages from time missed recovering out of work
- lost earning potential
- loss of enjoyment
- pain and suffering
- punitive damages (designed to punish the drunk driver and discourage others)
- and more.
