HELPING VICTIMS OF DRUNK DRIVING OBTAIN JUSTICE AND FAIR RECOVERY SINCE 1971

When a drunk driver injures or kills other people in an auto accident, liability and damages may apply to more than the person behind the wheel. At Bailey & Burke, we investigate drunken driving accidents in order to determine if bar owners, restaurants, concession stand vendors, or others failed to refuse alcohol to someone who was already intoxicated. Especially in cases involving fatalities and wrongful death suits, holding drivers and alcohol servers responsible is essential. At the law office of Bailey & Burke we investigate drunken driving accidents in order to determine what happened before a drunk driver got behind the wheel and what steps should have been take to prevent them from doing so in the first place.

A drunk driving accident can involve more than just the driver responsible for causing your injuries. We investigate what happened and hold others liable as well when evidence indicates they acted negligent.

When a Bar or Restaurant May Be Liable Too

In order to protect your rights, we act quickly when pursuing bar owners or restaurants that may be involved in a drunk driving accident. Verifying the obvious intoxication of a patron often relies on the eyewitness testimony of employees and other patrons who were present. By locating and interviewing these witnesses quickly, we avoid potentially losing track of the witnesses as well as the possible blurring of memory as time passes.

Fighting The Insurance Carriers

A common practice of insurance carriers is to negotiate with an accident victim in bad faith, arguing who is at fault, and making low settlement offers.

Even in cases that are not complicated, the at-fault driver's insurance company may be unreasonable in its settlement negotiations and attempt to convince the victim to settle for less than adequate or fair compensation. Our car accident attorneys, with their experience and proven track record, will fight the insurance carrier on you behalf for the best possible result.

Uninsured and Underinsured Drivers

While drunk drivers who cause injuries and fatalities are subject to criminal prosecution, recovering compensation from them may prove difficult if they were uninsured. While you should have coverage under your own insurance policy for underinsured and uninsured drivers, pursuing damages against restaurants and bars may also be necessary. Where establishments serving alcohol are clearly at fault for enabling a drunk driver, their liability is also at issue in recovering damages for our clients.
