Hurt By a Drunk Driver?
In 2023, 12,429 people were killed nationwide in crashes involving an alcohol-impaired driver — about one death every 42 minutes. In Alabama, roughly one in five traffic deaths involves an impaired driver.
Facing a DUI charge yourself, rather than a victim of one? See our DUI Defense page instead.
Alcohol-impaired drivers make Alabama's highways dangerous for everyone else on them. If you or someone you love has been hurt by a drunk driver, you may be able to pursue damages for:
- Medical bills
- Lost wages and loss of future earning capacity
- Physical therapy
- Pain and suffering
- Punitive damages, in cases involving especially reckless conduct
