The key to recovering maximum compensation for any car accident is to establish liability. As strange as it might seem, an intoxicated driver is not automatically liable for any resulting drunk driving accidents. Even after they are convicted and face legal and administrative penalties, there is no law that states that they must provide compensation to the people they have harmed. To prevent yourself from footing the bills for your own recoveries, you are going to need to file a sound car accident claim or prepare for trial.

Evidence our personal injury lawyer can collect to benefit your case includes:

• Photographs: A picture is worth a thousand words, and a photograph of the scene of your drunk driving accident is worth ten thousand more. We can analyze pictures for indication of crash velocity, direction, and more.
• Witness statements: Throughout our 15+ years of legal experience and practice, we have learned that eyewitness testimonies can be the most valuable evidence in a car accident case. Those who see the crash unfold have nothing to hide or gain, and often have a better perspective than the people in the vehicles.
• Police reports: If your crash was severe, the police should have been sent to the scene. Using their reports, our Colorado Springs auto accident lawyer can look for otherwise hidden piece of evidence. For example, if the police record that the drunk driver had a BAC well over 0.08%, it could be argued that there was zero chance of them controlling their car safely.
• Medical evaluations: We will need to determine the true value of your injury claim before you sue the liable party. By examining and reviewing your medical evaluations, we can get a better understanding of how damaging, physically and financially, the accident may prove to be.
