Common DUI Accident Causes & Injuries

Intoxication impairs one’s judgment and slows their reflexes, which makes operating a vehicle extremely hazardous. Drunk driving accidents often stem from reckless behaviors such as:

Excessive speeding or racing
Failing to yield or obey traffic signals
Driving the wrong way on highways
Sudden braking or swerving

Injuries from drunk driving accidents are often severe. Common injuries include:

Traumatic brain injuries
Spinal cord injuries
Broken bones
Internal organ damage
Emotional trauma and PTSD
Wrongful death

These injuries can require extensive medical treatment, which can be costly. A Foley drunk driving accident attorney knows what evidence to look for to build the best case for maximum compensation.

Who Can You Sue After a Drunk Driving Accident?

The Driver

The intoxicated driver is primarily liable for any injuries or damages caused. Alabama law imposes strict penalties for drunk driving, making it easier to prove negligence in civil cases.

The Driver’s Employer

If the driver was on the job at the time of the accident, their employer could share liability under the doctrine of vicarious liability. For example, a delivery company may be held accountable if it failed to enforce safe driving practices.

The Server

Under Alabama Dram Shop Laws (§ 6-5-71c), businesses that serve alcohol to visibly intoxicated individuals or minors can be held liable for injuries caused by those patrons.

What Is the Average Settlement for a Drunk Driving Accident in Alabama?

Settlement amounts vary depending on the severity of injuries, the extent of negligence, and insurance coverage. In Alabama, there are several types of damages victims may recover.

Types of Damages Available

Economic Damages: Medical bills, lost wages, property damage
Non-Economic Damages: Pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of companionship
Punitive Damages: Awarded in cases of gross negligence, such as repeat DUI offenders

While there is no way to guarantee a settlement amount, your attorney can estimate the value of your case based on the circumstances surrounding your accident.

What to Do After a DUI Accident

Taking the right steps after an accident is critical to preserve evidence and protect your right to compensation. Here’s what you should do (to the best of your ability) after a DUI accident:

Seek Medical Attention: Your health is the priority.
Call the Police: Request an official accident report.
Document the Scene: Take photos and gather witness contact information.
Contact Long & Long Injury Attorneys: We’ll evaluate your case for free.

Avoid apologizing or admitting guilt, as this could be used against you. Do not speak to the insurance company—your lawyer will handle those communications and negotiations for you.

Foley Drunk Driving Accident FAQs

How much does it cost to hire a lawyer?

At Long & Long, we work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you owe us nothing unless we win your case. Our legal fees are taken out of your settlement, so you never have to pay out-of-pocket.

What if I was partially at fault for my accident?

Alabama follows a contributory negligence rule, meaning you may be barred from recovering damages if found even partially at fault. If you’re unsure who was at fault, contact us to discuss your case.

How long do I have to file a lawsuit?

The statute of limitations for personal injury cases in Alabama is typically 2 years from the date of the accident.

What if the drunk driver was uninsured or underinsured?

If the drunk driver did not have sufficient insurance, you may still recover compensation through your uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage.

Will my case go to trial?

Most DUI accident cases settle out of court, but we are prepared to take your case to trial if a fair settlement cannot be reached during the negotiation stage.

How long will my case take to settle?

The timeline for DUI accident cases varies depending on several factors, such as the number of parties involved, their willingness to settle, and whether they had insurance at the time of the accident.
