Our legal team is ready to represent anyone that was a victim of a drunk driving accident.
How to protect your rights
As of 2014, Missouri enacted laws that felony charges may be brought against intoxicated drivers who are found responsible for taking someone’s life. If an opposing vehicle’s driver is found to have .08% or higher blood alcohol content (BAC), this means that they are operating a motor vehicle illegally. Fines against inebriated drivers under the age of twenty-one are severe too. Sometimes we can even recover losses from an establishment that irresponsibly served intoxicants to a driver who from there caused damage to you. During a consultation, we can answer your questions about drunk driving accidents in the State of Missouri.
What to do after a drunk driving accident
It’s important that you report your accident immediately. If you’re hurt, seek medical attention too. When you can, gather information about the accident including the contact information and vehicle of the car that was driving drunk (allegedly), any witness testimony, and other helpful information for our legal team. Never contact an insurance company on your own as our legal team has the experience necessary to do so for you. Your goal is to recover from your injuries and ours is to represent you when you need legal help by your side the most.
