Insights on Drunk Driving Accidents in New York City
In New York City, the impact of drunk driving accidents is felt deeply within our communities. With bustling streets and a vibrant nightlife, the risk of intoxicated driving increases, leading to devastating consequences for innocent victims. Local resources, such as the New York Police Department and the Department of Health, work tirelessly to combat this issue, but the reality is that accidents still occur, leaving families to cope with the aftermath.
Challenges Our Clients Face After a Drunk Driving Collision
Victims often face overwhelming challenges, from mounting medical expenses to the emotional toll of recovery. In neighborhoods like Brooklyn and Queens, where public transportation may not always be a viable option, the need for reliable transportation can lead to increased vulnerability on the roads. The financial strain of lost wages due to injuries can be particularly acute in areas with a high cost of living, making it essential to seek compensation for your losses.
Recovering from such incidents not only involves physical healing but also navigating the complexities of life with potential long-term disabilities. This can include adapting homes for accessibility, undergoing lengthy rehabilitation processes, and managing ongoing healthcare needs. Our team focuses on achieving settlements that reflect the full scope of these challenges, ensuring that you have the resources needed to move forward with confidence.

Common Injuries from Drunk Driving Accidents
Intoxicated driving is not something that should be taken lightly. We give our clients the power to hold drunk drivers accountable because we know just how reckless drinking-and-driving really is. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that about 30% of all fatal car accidents are caused by an intoxicated or drug-impaired driver.
Injuries often reported in serious drunk driving accidents include:
Are Drunk Driving Convictions an Admission of Guilt?
You have been hit by a drunk driver, who is arrested, charged, tried, and convicted of a DUI and related crimes. Does their conviction mean that you will automatically win your drunk driving claim against them? As unusual as it might seem, the answer is ‘no’ because criminal courts are separate from civil courts.
The distinction between criminal and civil court proceedings means that while a DUI conviction can serve as compelling evidence, it does not substitute for the need to establish liability in a civil trial. Successfully navigating these proceedings involves a strategic presentation of evidence, witness testimonies, and possibly professional inputs to draw a clear line of accountability from the drunk driver to the injuries sustained. Our legal team is adept at integrating these elements effectively to work towards a favorable outcome.
