Been Injured By A Drunk Driver
The physical, mental, and emotional recovery after an accident can be difficult and expensive.
Drunk driving is extremely reckless and dangerous, and it injures and kills thousands of people each year. The accident lawyers at Christensen & Hymas help victims of drunk driving accidents in Salt Lake City. We know how to win your injury case and get you a large settlement.
Utah recently passed a law that lowered the legal blood alcohol limit for drivers to 0.05. Until the end of 2018, the legal limit is still 0.08. Someone who drives with a BAL above 0.08 is considered a drunk driver. If a drunk driver recklessly injures you in an accident, you may be able to recover your losses in a personal injury case.
The physical, mental, and emotional recovery after an accident can be difficult and expensive. At Christensen & Hymas, we strive to relieve our clients’ stress by providing compassionate and affordable legal representation. You will not pay us any legal fees unless we win your case.
How Can a Drunk Driving Accident Lawsuit Help Me?
Drunk driving accidents can cause serious, traumatic injuries. These injuries often require extensive medical treatment and long recovery times. Huge medical bills and time away from work can cause financial stress on top of physical pain. A successful drunk driving accident lawsuit will help relieve some of this financial stress.
You may be able to recover the following losses and damages in a drunk driving case.
- Lost wages due to missed work
- Medical costs for past and future treatment
- Pain and suffering compensation
- Property damage
Of course, each situation is unique, and you may be able to receive compensation for other losses, as well. An experienced car accident lawyer can help you build a case that meets your needs.
When do I need to start my accident case?
It is very important to file your lawsuit on time. There is a legal deadline for personal injury cases called the “statute of limitations.” In general, the statute of limitations for Utah car accident cases is 4 years. This includes drunk driving accidents in Salt Lake City.
You must file your drunk driving accident lawsuit within 4 years, or you will not be able to receive compensation for your injuries. At Christensen & Hymas, we can help you make sure that your case fulfills all legal requirements.
