There are no "accidents" when someone chooses to drink and drive. We hold drunk drivers fully accountable for the physical, emotional, and financial devastation they cause.
Being injured by a drunk driver is a uniquely traumatic experience because it was entirely preventable. The individual who hit you made a reckless, selfish, and criminal choice to get behind the wheel while impaired.
While the state of North Carolina will prosecute the drunk driver in criminal court, that process does not pay for your medical bills, your lost wages, or the pain you have suffered. You need an aggressive civil attorney to secure the financial justice you deserve. At Parsons Law Firm, we pursue every available avenue of compensation for victims of DWI crashes.
In most standard car accident claims, victims are only entitled to "compensatory damages" (money to cover medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering). However, North Carolina law recognizes that driving while impaired is a gross act of negligence.
Because of this, victims of drunk drivers are often entitled to seek Punitive Damages. These are additional funds specifically designed to punish the drunk driver for their egregious behavior and deter others from making the same dangerous choice. Furthermore, North Carolina generally removes the statutory cap on punitive damages when the at-fault driver was impaired by drugs or alcohol.
"Anna showed a remarkable level of empathy and care for our daughter's emotional struggle during this time. She was always accessible, promptly addressing our concerns and providing clear explanations, which alleviated much of our anxiety." – Rachel R.
The drunk driver may not be the only party financially responsible for your injuries. Under North Carolina's "Dram Shop" laws, we can also investigate the establishment that served the alcohol.
Insurance companies often try to settle DWI cases quickly and quietly before you realize the full value of your claim, particularly regarding punitive damages. Anna M. Parsons will meticulously build your case by:
