How to Get Compensation After a DUI Accident in Lawrenceville?

You may have several options for recovering damages after a DUI accident: 

  • Contact your insurer: In most cases, your insurance company can provide compensation for the damages caused by a DUI accident if the driver had insurance, little or no coverage, or if you were at fault in the accident. Additionally, if your injuries are serious and require medical care or you live in a ‘no-fault’ state with less serious injuries, you should also be able to receive compensation.
  • Settle the case outside of court: You may be able to resolve your case without having to go to court if the driver is held responsible for the accident. The insurer may offer a lump sum compensation
  • File a lawsuit against the drunk driver: If you are unable to reach an agreement through a settlement, you can take your case to court. If you prove that the driver was at fault and caused you some sort of damage, you may be entitled to compensation. The amount awarded would depend on their insurance policy coverage, but it could be difficult to collect any additional costs not covered by the insurance. You might also be able to file a lawsuit using the Dram Shop Laws if relevant.
