Hit by a Drunk Driver on Valentine’s Day? Here’s How to Get the Compensation You Deserve

Valentine’s Day is one of the busiest nights for bars and restaurants, which unfortunately leads to an increase in drunk driving accidents. If you or a loved one is hit by a drunk driver, you may have a strong personal injury case.

Drunk drivers are not only criminally liable but also civilly liable for damages they cause. Victims of drunk driving accidents can pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and even punitive damages. If a bar or restaurant overserved the driver before they got behind the wheel, they may also be held responsible under dram shop laws.

Being hit by a drunk driver can be life-altering, leading to chronic injuries, long-term therapy, or even permanent disabilities. In such cases, victims need to pursue maximum compensation to cover all aspects of their recovery. A skilled personal injury lawyer will investigate the circumstances of the crash, collect necessary evidence, and build a strong case on your behalf.

If you’ve been hit by a drunk driver, call 911, gather evidence, and seek medical treatment immediately. Contact Brinkley Law today at 317-766-1379 for a free consultation—we’re ready to fight for your rights and ensure you get justice.
