Drunk Driving Accidents

We protect the interests of victims of drunk driving accidents in NC and VA

Unfortunately, there are individuals on the roadways who take your safety, and their own, for granted by climbing behind the wheel of an automobile after they have had too much to drink.  While there are criminal consequences for these individuals, the law also provides certain civil remedies if you are injured by a drunk motorist.

Alcohol is an aggravating factor

An aggravating factor is a reason why someone who has pled or been found guilty should receive a more severe sentence.  It is also something that is used to increase the value of a claim above and beyond what it would have been had the aggravating factor not been present.  When aggravating factors are involved in a claim, you are filing for punitive damages.  Punitive damages are awarded to reform or deter the defendant from repeating the reprehensible behavior that caused your damages and/or injury.

We investigate and determine all sources of liability

In some circumstances, there may be additional parties liable in your accident other than the drunk driver.  It is possible that the party who served the liquor to the driver may also be liable as well as the facility where the driver was served.  The experienced drunk driver accident attorneys at Marcari, Russotto, Spencer & Balaban, PC investigate your claim and prosecute for the maximum amount of compensation that you deserve.
