Recovering Damages After a Drunk Driving Accident in Ocala, Florida

A drunk driving accident can have an immediate and long-term financial impact on you and your family. However, with legal guidance and direction from our drunk driving accident attorney, you can build a strong case for financial compensation.

According to Florida Statutes § 768.81, you can recover economic damages for the direct costs of medical care and income loss. In addition, our law firm will help you recover two additional types of damages.

Financial Damages

Financial or economic damages you can recover by filing a drunk driving accident claim or lawsuit include:

  • Medical bills
  • Lost wages
  • Vehicle damage
  • Vehicle destruction

Our law firm will collect evidence supporting the value assigned to financial damages, including receipts, invoices, and bills.

Non-Financial Damages

Your compensation request can also include a range of non-financial damages. These are damages that do not have an absolute or documented monetary value. They can include:

  • Physical disability
  • Physical disfigurement
  • Pain and suffering
  • Mental distress
  • Emotional anxiety

Documents we use to assign a value to your non-financial damages can include your prognosis, medical records, and statements that attest to the accident’s impact on your life.

  • Funeral and burial costs
  • Loss of financial support
  • Loss of familial support

Our Drunk Driving Accident Lawyer Fights Hard for Injured Clients

If a drunk driver causes a car accident that injures you or a loved one or causes a loved one’s demise, you do not have to pursue them on your own. While you focus on getting better, our law firm will do all of the following on your behalf:

  • Obtain police, medical, and financial records
  • Assess the monetary value of your case
  • Gather evidence that proves negligence
  • Speak with all interested parties for you
  • Complete and submit insurance and legal paperwork
  • Address any questions and concerns you have
  • Provide ongoing updates on your case

We will negotiate on your behalf and fight for a fair financial settlement. We will not hesitate to take your case to court for an appropriate resolution if necessary.

How Florida Defines Negligence

When our law firm handles your case, we thoroughly investigate your accident and collect the evidence necessary to prove the at-fault driver’s negligence. In Florida, the legally required components of negligence include the following:

  • Duty of care
  • Breach of duty
  • Causation
  • Damages

You should not bear the financial burden of an accident caused by someone else’s negligence. However, when our legal team documents the at-fault driver’s negligence, you can hold them financially liable for your post-accident expenses and losses.

Evidence That Supports Your Right to Financial Compensation

Part of our drunk driving accident lawyer’s handling of your case includes collecting evidence that proves your right to recover damages. We typically start by obtaining a copy of your police report.

Additional evidence we collect for you includes:

  • Medical records
  • Medical bills
  • Employment records
  • Car accident report
  • Injury photos
  • Accident scene photos
  • Witness statements

We also collect evidence you might have difficulty obtaining, like proof of any field sobriety and blood alcohol concentration (BAC) test results. Finally, we compile all evidence into a case file that helps us steer your case toward a favorable financial settlement.
