Florida law strictly prohibits driving under the influence of alcohol because it endangers everyone else on the road. Despite the possible criminal consequences and the risks of a serious crash, many people decide to get behind the wheel after drinking every day. Unfortunately, innocent people suffer devastating injuries because of these drunk drivers with alarming regularity. If you suffered injuries because of a drunk driver, our Seminole County Florida car accident attorney is ready to stand up for your rights.
A car that was swerving, speeding, or driving the wrong way suddenly crashes into your vehicle. The driver opens the door and stumbles out, clearly intoxicated. While it’s natural to be angry, you should remain calm and take steps to protect your rights.
Don’t confront the driver – If the driver is drunk, you should never confront them and accuse them of being intoxicated. This may result in the driver becoming volatile or even getting in their car and driving away. Instead, call 911 and keep your distance. The police will deal with the driver when they arrive.
Seek medical assistance – If the emergency medical technicians who arrive at the scene want to take you in an ambulance, listen to them. If you don’t need emergency transportation, you should still go to the emergency room as soon as possible to ensure any injuries are diagnosed and recorded.
Call a car accident attorney – As soon as your physical condition is stabilized, you should consult with a drunk driving accident lawyer who can help you hold the drunk driver accountable for their actions.
Even if a drunk driver is arrested and charged, you still need to take action to seek compensation for your losses. If a drunk driver injured you, please schedule a free consultation with Quattrochi, Torres, and Taormina by calling 407.452.4918 or contacting us online today.
