Driving under the influence of alcohol accounts for thousands of car accidents every year in the State of Florida. Most of them result in injuries, and in hundreds the outcome is fatal.
Carey Leisure Carney is known within the legal community as advocates of victims in DUI cases. One of our Senior Partners, Thomas Carey, lost his wife to a drunk driver. For this reason, he is very passionate. Pursuing justice for people like you has been his life’s mission for over three decades. He’s also served as State Chairman for Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) and still participates in and sponsors many of their events.
What makes drunk driving collisions different is that they’re not accidents at all. An intoxicated person makes a decision to get behind the wheel after excessive consumption of alcohol. Therefore, they should be held fully responsible for the injuries and/or wrongful deaths they cause.
In addition to damages to compensate you for your losses. Florida law allows for DUI victims to ask for punitive damages. The purpose of these additional damages is to punish the drunk driver. A DUI attorney or lawfirm in Clearwater FL can help you receive the compensation you are owed.
