Common Injuries in DWI/DUI Accidents

Accidents caused by drunk or impaired drivers often result in severe injuries with lasting consequences. Common injuries include:

  • Traumatic Brain Injuries

    Head trauma from high-impact collisions can lead to cognitive impairments, memory loss, or lifelong disabilities.

  • Spinal Injuries

    Damage to the spinal cord can cause paralysis or chronic pain, requiring extensive medical care and rehabilitation.

  • Fractures and Broken Bones

    These injuries can require surgeries, physical therapy, and long recovery periods.

  • Internal Injuries

    Damage to organs, internal bleeding, or other unseen injuries are common in high-speed crashes.

  • Psychological Trauma

    Beyond physical injuries, victims often experience PTSD, anxiety, or depression after a drunk driving accident.

At MPJ Law Firm, we ensure that your claim addresses the full scope of your injuries—physical, emotional, and financial.

Elements of a DWI/DUI Accident Claim

To establish a strong case against a drunk or impaired driver, we must prove the following elements:

  • Duty of Care: All drivers have a responsibility to operate their vehicles safely and obey traffic laws.
  • Breach of Duty: Driving while intoxicated is a clear violation of this duty.
  • Causation: The driver’s impairment directly caused the accident and your resulting injuries.
  • Damages: The crash resulted in measurable losses, including medical bills, pain and suffering, and lost income.

Our team is skilled at gathering evidence such as police reports, eyewitness statements, and toxicology results to prove negligence and build a compelling case.
