Driving while intoxicated is negligent. Driving while intoxicated and causing an accident is egregious. If you or a loved one suffered harm because of a drunk driver, our Gainesville drunk driving accident lawyers are ready to serve you.
While compensation can’t undo your accident and injuries, it can account for your injury-related expenses, including medical bills, lost income, and other related losses.

You Can Start a Free Case Review with Our Gainesville Drunk Driving Accident Team
We encourage you to call our team and participate in a free case review. Here, we can:
- Get your side of the story. We will determine what caused your accident and learn how it impacted your life.
- Discuss what evidence could support your case. As your case unfolds, you will come into possession of evidence. We’ll explain the benefits of keeping your injury-related billing statements and invoices. Photos of your vehicle’s damage help, too.
- Explain your case’s possible strategy. After listening to your story, we’ll explain what legal measures could secure compensation. We may file a claim or lawsuit to recover what you need.
Your first case review is your chance to ask us any questions about your situation. We’re committed to addressing each of your concerns.
Seek Medical Attention for Your Injuries
We encourage you to seek medical attention as soon as possible after getting hurt. Medical treatment does more than help you recover from your injuries; it connects your condition to the incident itself.
Even if you did not have to have emergency medical care or think your injuries are minor, see a doctor immediately. Only a physician can assess your injuries and any related conditions that may follow.
Plus, if you delay or refuse medical treatment, an insurer could argue that you worsened your injuries. They may then try to undervalue or outright deny your claim. Protect your health and your right to seek compensation by seeking medical treatment. Also, make sure to follow through with a doctor-prescribed treatment plan.

You Generally Have Two Years to File Your Lawsuit
In Florida, accident victims typically have no more than two years after the date of the accident to file a lawsuit after an accident. If the drunk driving accident killed your loved one, you still only have two years from the date of death in which to take legal action.
Some exceptions could alter your filing deadline, per Florida Statutes § 95.051. In either case, to protect your right to damages, we recommend consulting our team as soon as possible. The sooner you call us, the sooner we can file your case before the deadline expires.
What Are Recoverable Losses in a Gainesville Drunk Driving Accident Case?
Recoverable losses in your Gainesville drunk driving accident case may include:
- Ambulance transportation from the accident scene
- Emergency treatment
- Hospitalization
- Surgery and related procedures
- Doctors’ visits
- Lost income and lost earning power

What Is the Value of Your Damages?
We value each client’s case independently. We won’t be able to determine how much you deserve until we’ve reviewed your case.
Factors that increase your potential settlement’s value include:
- The types of injuries you’ve suffered
- Your timeframe for recovery
- How much time you’ll miss from work
- The cost of your financial losses (such as your medical bills)

Our Gainesville Drunk Driving Attorneys Will Manage Each of Your Case’s Legal Obligations
You can trust our team to:
Collect Any New Evidence that Emerges
We don’t just investigate your case and then rest on the evidence we collect. As your case progresses, new evidence may emerge. We’ll gather and preserve such evidence, including:
- Video footage of your accident
- Witness accounts
- Experts’ testimony
- The police report
- Toxicology reports
In a drunk driving accident case, evidence of the motorist’s intoxication may also be valuable.
Interview Witnesses
Witness accounts can confirm the drunk driver’s role in your accident. Witnesses may have seen the motorist drinking beforehand or viewed the accident happen. We may also consult with expert witnesses, such as accident reconstruction specialists and healthcare providers.
Negotiate a Fair Settlement with the Insurance Company
We’ll negotiate for everything you deserve from the liable insurance company. However, insurance companies want to make money, not pay injured claimants’ damages.
If the liable parties refuse to settle, then we’ll take your case to trial.
