Grand Junction Drunk Driving Accident Lawyers

• Gather Evidence: Collect evidence to establish the driver's intoxication at the time of the accident. This can include police reports, witness statements, and any available documentation of the driver's impairment.
• Consult with a Lawyer: Seek legal guidance from an experienced attorney who specializes in drunk driving accident cases. A lawyer can assess the circumstances of the accident, advise on the legal process, and provide personalized guidance.
• File a Lawsuit: With the assistance of your lawyer, file a lawsuit against the drunk driver. This legal action initiates the formal process of seeking compensation for damages such as medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and other related losses.
• Negotiate Settlement or Litigation: Your lawyer will engage in negotiations with the defendant's insurance company or legal representation. If a fair settlement cannot be reached, the case may proceed to litigation, where it will be presented before a court.
• Litigation Process: If the case goes to trial, your lawyer will represent your interests in court. During this process, evidence will be presented, witnesses may testify, and legal arguments will be made to support your claim for compensation.
• Resolution and Recovery: If successful, the resolution of the lawsuit may involve receiving a settlement or a court-ordered award. This financial recovery aims to compensate for the losses incurred due to the drunk driving accident. 

Parties Responsible in a Drunk Driving Accident

We always explore the possibility that additional parties may be named in a personal injury case involving a drunk driver.

Dram shop liability laws hold bars, restaurants, liquor stores, and other businesses responsible in DUI cases. Establishments serving alcohol may be held accountable for the damage caused in a drunk driving accident if alcohol was knowingly sold or served to a person who was visibly intoxicated, or if the alcohol was knowingly sold or served to a minor.
