Drunk drivers may assume responsibility for any accident that they are involved in. This could be true of your accident. A Riverdale car accident lawyer from Kaine Law may recover awards for your lost income, medical costs, and other accident-related damages.
Kaine Law takes DUIs extremely seriously, and we will work to secure financial justice for you.
A DUI Driver May Cover Your Accident-Related Losses
An intoxicated driver involved in a collision may be liable for the accident. Their potential liability hinges on your ability to prove them negligent. A drunk driver may prove negligent because:
- They owed you a duty of care (all motorists have a duty of care).
- They violated the duty of care by being intoxicated.
- Their intoxication was a direct cause or contributing factor in your accident.
- The accident resulted in your injuries and losses.
Duty of care, breach of duty, causation, and damages are the four elements of negligence. By proving this sequence, your Riverdale personal injury lawyer may obtain compensation from the liable driver (and other liable parties).
A drunk driver may owe you coverage for:
Emotional Anguish, Trauma, and Other Forms of Pain and Suffering
Any motor vehicle accident can be traumatic. Effects of a collision may include:
- Anxiety about driving or riding in vehicles
- Generalized anxiety
- Recurring, traumatic thoughts and dreams
- Physical pain from injuries
- Loss of sleep
- Loss of joy and fulfillment from life
- Lost quality of life
We can calculate your pain with a couple of different methods so you seek fair compensation for this non-economic loss.
Lost Wages and Reduced Earning Capacity
Interruptions in your work create direct financial harm. Your accident may cause:
- A prolonged period where you cannot work
- Lost wages while you are out of work
- Lost productivity, which may impede your professional progress
- Loss of performance bonuses
Serious injuries may cause even more harm. They may decrease your long-term earning power or prevent you from working completely. These are economic costs that may warrant financial coverage.
Medical Costs
Injuries require medical care. Medical care costs money. Following your DUI car accident, you may face the cost of:
- An ambulance ride
- On-scene medical care
- Emergency room care
- Surgery
- Medical imaging services
- Being hospitalized
- Medications
- Rehabilitation
- Transportation to medical appointments
Medical expenses are a standard feature of accident-related lawsuits and insurance claims.
Vehicular Damage
A DUI driver may pay for:
- Replacement of vehicle components
- Damage to vehicle accessories
- Damage to personal property inside of your vehicle
You should not have to pay for property damage caused by another party.
Loss of a Loved One
If you lost a loved one due to an accident, you can partner with a Riverdale wrongful death lawyer to file a wrongful death claim or lawsuit to recoup your loved one’s medical expenses. A wrongful death case may also result in awards for the following losses:
- Funeral expense
- Loss of consortium for the companionship your loved one provided
- Loss of inheritance for the income your loved one provided
Pain and suffering in wrongful death cases may also warrant compensation. A lawyer from Kaine Law will pursue fair coverage for your DUI accident in Riverdale.

I would highly recommend Evan Kaine!” – B.D.
