Wrongful Death Caused by Drunk Driving Accidents

NO FEES UNLESS WE ARE SUCCESSFUL

Losing a loved one because of a drunk driver is one of the most profoundly devastating events that can possibly occur. There are so many overpowering emotions — grief, anger, sadness, and disbelief — that it can completely derail your life. Tragically, drunk drivers are the root cause of a staggering one-in-three fatal car accidents in the United States. An even more alarming statistic is that an individual is killed by a drunk driver once every 45 minutes. In Massachusetts alone, 40 percent of drivers involved in a deadly crash had alcohol in their system at the time of the accident. Moreover, drunk drivers rarely change their ways, as those involved in a fatal drunk driving accident are eight times more likely to have had a previous OUI conviction in the past. We cannot ever make you feel completely whole following such a tragic loss, but we will make sure all of the necessary decisions following the event are properly addressed, leaving you and your family secure for decades.

Don’t Let Insurance Companies Shirk Their FULL Responsibility

All too often, insurance companies, knowing their client is clearly at fault, will try to minimize their responsibility and get you to accept a minimal offer. Our Boston injury attorneys deal with insurance companies daily and know their tactics well. We also have daily dealing with medical providers and will negotiate down bills to maximize your settlement proceeds. Insurance companies know well that drunk drivers have clear liability and negligence. Consequently, they often try to take advantage of victims and their families at a vulnerable time, forcing a quick settlement and disregarding future costs that are not immediately apparent. Bear in mind, also, that there is no second bite at the apple. Once an offer is accepted, it cannot be revisited. Our attorneys will make sure the at-fault driver and his insurance pays in full, bottom line.
