Fort Lauderdale Drunk Driving Accident Attorney
Despite the many public awareness campaigns, the tougher laws and penalties, and more aggressive enforcement efforts by police — drunk driving continues to be a major problem across America. In fact, statistics published by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reveal that drunk drivers killed nearly 12,000 people in 2008 alone.

Compensation for Drunk Driving Accident Victims Throughout South Florida
The criminal court system may punish a drunk driver but won't do anything to compensate the victim or their family. The civil court system, by contrast, allows victims to recover financial compensation for the injuries and a wide range of other damages, including:
- Pain and suffering
- Lost wages and loss of expected future earning
- Medical expenses
- Burial costs
- Loss of companionship, services and support
- Loss of consortium
If the drunk driver was legally intoxicated, Florida's dram shop laws may allow us to pursue compensation and possibly even punitive damages from the bar or restaurant where the drunk driver had been drinking. Punitive damages can significantly increase the amount of compensation a drunk driving accident victim receives. These types of damages are designed to financially punish and make an example of the drunk driver who caused the collision.
NO FEES OR COSTS IF NO RECOVERY
We represent ALL of our clients on a contingency fee basis – there is no fee unless there is a recovery. The Rules of Professional Conduct require us to state that you might be responsible for costs or expenses; however, OUR CONTRACT specifically provides that you will NOT owe anything for costs, expenses or fees unless there is a recovery.
