Drunk Driving Accident Lawyer Colorado Springs, CO

Alcohol impairs a person’s judgment. Besides slowing their reaction time and reducing coordination, drunk driving can cause a person to act differently than they normally would. After a few drinks, someone may develop a false sense of confidence, leading them to make dangerous maneuvers on the road or speed and break traffic laws without realizing they’re doing so.

Any type of car crash can be deadly. Injuries can include anything from internal bleeding and broken bones to more serious situations like spinal cord damage or traumatic brain injuries. Beyond the physical harm, there’s the very real financial aspect of the accident. Victims can suffer from overwhelming medical bills, resulting in thousands of dollars of medical debt. An injury can also leave someone unable to work. A settlement can cover these very real financial aspects, alongside compensating for other considerations like emotional distress and pain and suffering.

While criminal charges may be filed against the drunk driver, a criminal case does not compensate victims for their losses. That is where a personal injury claim becomes essential. Our team can also help you pursue punitive damages against the driver. These types of damages are designed to punish reckless behavior like driving while under the influence.
