Make a Dangerous Driver Pay for Hurting You
If you were seriously injured in a car accident with a drunk driver, you’re probably angry—and scared about what the future holds. Understandably so.
Any car accident affects your life drastically. Medical bills add up. If you miss work, that only raises your stress.
Accidents with drunk drivers have added dimensions—legally and personally. You might be dealing with emotional trauma and fear of sharing the road with dangerous drivers.
You deserve justice and maximum compensation. The driver at fault deserves to pay for their irresponsible actions.
The lawyers at Schiro & Themer help you get your life back to normal. We proudly serve people in Champaign-Urbana, Springfield-Decatur, Danville and all across Central Illinois.
We provide Real Help for Real People who’ve been hurt by drunk drivers.
What Makes a Drunk Driving Accident Different?
Despite strict laws and heightened awareness campaigns, drunk driving is still one of the top causes of car accident injuries and deaths.
It’s illegal for people to drive with a blood alcohol level of 0.08 percent or higher. Illinois law also prohibits people from driving with open alcohol containers in their cars.
An accident involving a drunk driver isn’t like any other car accident:
- The drunk driver might not be the only person at fault. The person or business who served them too much alcohol could also have liability.
- In addition to typical car accident compensation for your injuries and property damage, you may also be eligible for punitive damages—as part of the punishment for the drunk driver.
Work with a personal injury attorney who knows the complexity of drunk driving accident cases, cares about you and puts your well-being first.
In other words, an attorney from Schiro & Themer.
You won’t pay anything for an initial evaluation to discuss your specific case and individual needs.
