Drivers in New Jersey with a blood alcohol content of 0.08 percent are considered legally drunk and driving under the influence. In 2017, there were 624 fatal crashes throughout New Jersey, with 125 fatalities involving drunk driving. If you’ve been injured or lost a loved one due to an automobile accident caused by a drunk driver, you may be entitled to compensation. Our skilled personal injury and auto accident attorneys at Krivitzky, Springer & Feldman in Jersey City, New Jersey, will fight to get the compensation you deserve.
Sharing Blame
An intoxicated person who chooses to drive drunk and causes an accident may face criminal charges for their actions. However, even when they’re not charged, you should contact an auto accident attorney to pursue civil litigation for compensation of the many expenses resulting from the accident. Our experienced personal injury attorneys help you get the justice you deserve.
Under New Jersey’s dram shop liability laws, a drunk driver is only partially to blame for his actions if an establishment supplied the alcohol. When a bar, tavern, restaurant or other establishment continues serving alcoholic beverages to an obviously intoxicated patron, the establishment can be held liable for injuries or deaths resulting from an auto accident. If the establishment didn’t prevent the over-served person from driving drunk, it’s also possible to file a personal injury lawsuit against them.
Potential Compensation
Drunk driving is considered a reckless action, and you’re entitled to seek monetary compensation for your losses. Filing a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit is the most effective way for victims to pursue compensation for:
- Medical expenses
- Current and future lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of companionship
- Damage to your vehicle
- Other accident-related expenses
