Claims on Behalf of Victims of Drunk Drivers

Our attorney Tim Grabe is an auto accident victim himself, and knows all too well that injuries can be permanent and life-altering. His heart is with his clients. If you seek our help on a drunk driving injury, we'll put our expertise at your disposal to win a fair, just settlement.

Drunk drivers are a scourge in our community, and our laws don't really keep them off the road. Drunk drivers often cause injuries that insurers don't like to pay, but our civil justice system can right these wrongs.

What to Expect in a Drunk Driver Victim Case

In preparing cases for victims against drunk drivers, we often work with doctors to analyze the driver’s drug and blood alcohol content. This preparation lays the groundwork for winning the claim against the drunk driver’s insurer.

In calculating damages, we'll consult expert analysts, who will assess the scope of your injuries, your medical expenses, your loss of earning capacity - both short and long term, your non-economic damages, and your property damage. In addition, we may investigate any punitive damages to which you're entitled.
