Exploring Your Legal Options when Hit by A Drunk Driver

Law Office of Jason Skala April 12, 2022

In the event that you or someone you love has been injured in a car crash that was caused by an intoxicated driver, there is a good chance that you will be able to collect financial compensation for your injuries and losses that resulted from the incident. Luckily, Alaska is a fault car crash state, which means that whoever was at fault for causing the crash becomes financially responsible for the injuries and damages that resulted from it.

Filing a third-party insurance claim against the other driver’s insurance company will alert them that you intend to seek full and fair financial compensation for your injuries and incurred losses. This will prompt them to provide you with a satisfying settlement amount. However, it is always best to seek the assistance of a qualified and experienced personal injury lawyer in Anchorage in a case like this. A lawyer will be able to navigate the complex legal system for you and help you along the way so that you are not taken advantage of or left with a meager settlement amount. Insurance companies know that regular individuals do not usually possess the knowledge and expertise necessary to negotiate a large compensation amount, which is why an attorney is always your best bet.

If a DUI Conviction Is a Part of Your Accident, You’ve Got a Good Case.

If the opposing driver who caused your crash becomes convicted of a DUI, it is likely that you will be able to file a successful lawsuit against them. The insurance company will likely do anything in their power to avoid a lawsuit, especially when their insured customer is convicted of a DUI that caused another person’s injuries. They are aware that if you take your lawsuit to trial and a jury finds the defendant guilty of causing your injuries due to driver negligence, they will be paying out a very large settlement amount to you. For this reason, an injury settlement, even a very high settlement, is in their best interest.
