Drunk Driver Accidents

Drunk driving is the leading cause of death on our roads. In 2019, over 10,000 people died due to preventable crashes. The strange thing is that the drunk driver will quite often walk away from car accidents while his victim suffers injury or even death. If you are hurt, you need help. Kirshbaum Injury Law Law Firm is here for you.

Civil Cases vs. Penalties for Drunk Driving

In Minnesota, there are two types of lawsuits that can be pursued against a drunk driver: criminal and civil. In a criminal case, the government seeks to convict an individual for his illegal actions. If the court finds the defendant guilty, they can sentence him with imprisonment and various additional penalties, such as fines and license suspension. Although the punishment could involve the payment of retribution to any victim, this is not always the case.

A civil case, on the other hand, is a victim’s case against the drunk driver in an attempt to recover compensation for their physical, financial, and emotional damages. Even if the criminal court doesn’t convict the drunk driver, he may still be liable for the losses that his victim faces. At Kirshbaum Injury Law we help victims injured in drunk driving accidents obtain the compensation they deserve. In many situations, we settle the case without filing a lawsuit. However, we are always prepared to go to trial and obtain the best possible outcome for our clients.

Compensation You May Receive in A Claim Against A Drunk Driver

As with other types of personal injury claims, there are several types of compensation that you may be entitled to receive for the following:

• Emotional distress
• Lost wages
• Medical bills
