DUI / DWI - Driving While Drunk
Drunk Driving Accident Attorney
Tampa Florida DUI Accident Lawyer

If a family member has been injured or killed by a drunk driver, you should contact an attorney who routinely handles these cases. At Kinney, Fernandez, and Boire we are well versed in DUI laws and the personal injury and wrongful death laws involved in accidents caused by an impaired driver. As experienced Florida drunk driving accident attorneys we are efficient at gathering evidence when drugs or alcohol have played a part in causing a motor vehicle crash. Our investigators on put on the job, to photograph the vehicles and the scene, interview witnesses, and conduct whatever investigation is necessary. Our attorneys are active in the entire process of interviewing witnesses and law enforcement officers, obtaining evidence, dealing with insurance companies and prosecutors, and building the strongest case possible against those whose impairment while driving have caused injury or death.

Compensation and Liability in Drunk Driving Accidents:

One of the issues we pursue is where the intoxicated driver got the alcohol. If the person was obviously intoxicated and was served more alcohol by an establishment with a liquor license, that business can be held liable under "dram shop" laws for the resulting injury or death of an innocent person. Likewise, if the intoxicated person was furnished alcohol or drugs at a private party, the homeowner may have personal liability under Florida's social host law. When an adult provides drugs or alcohol to a minor and that minor causes injury or death, they too are liable for the consequences.

Drunk driving injury victims can potentially sue for damages including:

• Medical expenses and lost wages
• Future medical care and expenses
• Loss of quality of life
• Pain and suffering
• Punitive damages
