Making a Claim Against a Drunk Driver’s Insurance



If you are a safety-conscious driver who never gets behind the wheel after you’ve been drinking, then it is extremely unfair that you should suffer bodily injuries, physical pain and expensive medical bills due to the actions of another less considerate motorist. Unfortunately, alcohol-related auto collisions occur throughout Dallas County on a regular basis.
As an Irving personal injury lawyer, I want to make sure that you understand your legal rights to compensation if you have been hurt due the negligent actions of an intoxicated motorist. Texas law gives you the right to seek damages from the at-fault driver’s insurance company, just the same as you would make a claim in a property damage case.

What Money Am I Entitled To?

Depending on your circumstances, you might be entitled to recover compensation to cover any doctor bills related to your accident, including your hospital stay, any surgeries or prescription drugs you might require, and any future medical expenses such as physical therapy or chiropractic treatment. You can also claim for any lost wages due to your time out of the office, as well as compensation for your pain and suffering, mental anguish and impairment

Why Is It So Important That I Hire An Attorney?

Although Texas law gives you the right to full and fair compensation from the negligent driver’s insurance company, it doesn’t mean you’ll automatically get it. Personal injury claims typically involve tens of thousands of dollars at a minimum, and the insurance company will fight you tooth and nail for it. Even if they’ve already resolved your damaged vehicle claim sufficiently, you should not expect to be treated fairly when it comes to your PI claim. Insurance adjustors have a nasty habit of trying to trick accident victims into signing waivers which essentially mean you give up your right to the money you need – and deserve.
For that reason, it is critical that you consult with a board certified personal injury and wrongful death lawyer before you sign anything for the drunk driver’s insurance company. An experienced DFW lawyer will be able to tell you whether or not the amount of compensation you are being offered is reasonable and may even be able to help you identify other existing insurance policies against which you might make a claim.
