What Makes Drunk Driving Auto Accidents Serious?

Drunk driving crashes often turn out to be very serious car accidents for many different reasons. Some of the reasons include:

• Drunk drivers often fall asleep at the wheel, resulting in them not slowing down before the accident.
• Drunk drivers aren’t sober enough to stay in their lane and cross the center line causing head on collisions.
• Drunk drivers run red lights.
• Drunk drivers often speed because their judgment is impaired.
• Drunk drivers often don’t try to slow down before an accident because they’re intoxicated.

Why Are Drunk Driving Auto Accidents Complicated?

You might think your drunk driving accident will be simple. An intoxicated driver clearly caused your crash. The reality is many drunk driving auto accidents in Kansas turn out to be far more complicated than you would expect. Some of the reasons why include:

• Drunk driver goes to jail and won’t communicate with their insurance company
• Drunk driver has no insurance
• Drunk driver denies being intoxicated
• Drunk driver leaves the accident scene
• Drunk driver cannot remember what happened
• Drunk driver tries to blame you for causing the collision
• Drunk driver’s insurance company denies your claim or lowballs the value of your injuries

Kansas juries get outraged when they learn the car wreck was caused by a drunk driver.  The jury can award higher damages for noneconomic losses like pain and suffering, mental anguish, disability, disfigurement, loss of time, inconvenience, or loss of enjoyment of life.  There may be additional damages known as punitive damages to punish the drunk driver for their conduct.  Talk to an attorney at our Wichita law firm. We can review the details of your case, explain the legal options available to you and work with you to obtain the maximum compensation you deserve. We have a strong track record of success negotiating with insurance companies to get your case settled out of court.
