New York DWI Accident Lawyer
Driving while intoxicated (DWI) accidents can be physically and emotionally traumatizing. Even if a victim recovers from severe injuries, he or she may never fully mend the psychological damages from a DWI car accident. Fighting for justice in court can be the only thing that provides accident victims and their families a chance for closure in these cases.
DWI Accidents in New York, NY
- Traumatic brain injury
- Spinal cord injury
- Traumatic cardiac arrest
- Internal organ damage
- Extremity and limb damage
- Emotional distress
Due to the high volume of DWI accidents involving unsafe speeds, injuries are often severe or fatal in nature. Victims may need extensive surgeries, rehabilitation, physical and emotional therapy, and expensive medical equipment. They may also have to pay for home or vehicle modifications. The costs of a serious injury can quickly escalate, leaving a family in financial hardship.
More important than the financial damages are the intangible damages that DWI crash victims face. Victims with permanently disabling injuries such as paralysis or brain damage cannot live alone, often needing a caretaker. Family members can suffer loss of love and companionship, and the victim can have a lower quality of life. DWI accidents are entirely preventable. When a drunk driver gets behind the wheel and injures or kills someone in a car accident, the law offers a bit of respite in a personal injury or wrongful death case.
What to Do If You’ve Been Involved in a Drunk Driving Accident in New York, NY
If an intoxicated driver caused your accident or injury, seek medical attention for your injuries immediately. Even if you don’t believe you’ve sustained an injury, secure medical clearance before returning to your daily life. The accident may have injured you without you realizing it. If you wait to see a doctor for your injuries, the defendant can use this as evidence against you to prove your injuries must not have been too painful or serious. Once you’re on the road to recovery, consult a New York DWI accident attorney.
An attorney can confirm a driver’s intoxication at the time of a crash by obtaining the police reports. If the driver had a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) percentage of 0.08% (the legal limit in New York) or more in an accident, he or she is guilty of DWI. The same rule applies to drivers under the age of 21 with a BAC of 0.02% or more and a commercially licensed driver with a BAC of 0.04% or more. An experienced DWI accident lawyer can help prove negligence regardless of the BAC percentage on record, since even one drink can change the way a driver operates a vehicle.
