DUI Car Accident Cases: FAQs (Pt. 3)

Here is the conclusion to our blog series DUI Car Accident Cases: FAQs.

Q – How much is my DUI car accident case worth?

A – We can’t evaluate how much DUI car accident cases may be worth without first knowing the details of a specific case. This is because various factors can differ from case to case, and these can be some of the issues critical to determining the value of a claim.

In fact, some of the primary factors that impact the value of DUI car accident cases include (but are by no means limited to):

• The types and severity of the injuries sustained from the accident
• The nature of the treatments injured people will need (both now and in the long term)
• The level of damage done to the victim’s car
• Whether the victim will not be able to work for any time due to his accident-related injuries.

Q – How long will it take to get compensation from my DUI car accident case?

A – Again, this is a question about DUI car accident cases that we cannot provide a specific answer for without having the details of a particular case. Just as various factors can impact the compensation in DUI car accident cases (as explained above), so too can various issues and elements impact how long it takes to resolve these cases.

In particular, some of the factors and issues that can impact the complexity and duration of DUI car accident cases include (but, again, are by no means limited to):

• Whether multiple people were hurt by the drunk driver
• Whether the negligent driver was driving under the employment of a trucking company or commercial enterprise when the accident occurred
• Whether the negligent driver was a government employee.

Q – Do I need to hire an attorney to help me with my DUI car accident case?

A – Yes! DUI car accident cases can be complicated, and getting the entire financial recovery you deserve can take the skills and persistence of an experienced attorney. In fact, with a lawyer representing you, you can step back from the legal process and possible disputes and, instead, focus on your recovery, health and future.
