Drunk Driver Injury Compensation
Any car accident is upsetting and stressful, but a crash caused by a drunk driver is even worse. It’s terrible that someone’s severe negligence caused your injuries, medical bills, lost earnings, and so much more.
You want justice and compensation for your ordeal. It’s understandable to ask what your drunk driving claim is worth. Every case we handle is different, and there isn’t an average payout we can state with accuracy. That said, the following factors may influence the size of the claim we negotiate for you:
- The severity of injuries: Unfortunately, drunk drivers tend to drive aggressively and speedily, and the resulting collisions can be horrific. Your case value will increase if you or a loved one suffered a severe injury with shattered bones, brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, or permanent organ damage.
- Medical bills: Severe drunk driving injuries cost hundreds of thousands or millions to treat. A severe injury may require months or years of treatment and rehabilitation, which increases the claim value.
- Lost income: You will receive compensation for lost income from the drunk driving accident. You can receive more for lost earning capacity if the drunk driver caused you a permanent injury.
- Pain and suffering: A severe drunk driving injury can be excruciating and will seriously increase the claim value. Our Jacksonville, TX, drunk driving lawyer will document your suffering by interviewing your medical team.
- Permanent disability: A catastrophic drunk driving injury can render you unable to work or live life as you once did, which will lead to a higher settlement.

Our Practice Areas
Our Jacksonville, TX, personal injury attorneys often represent drunk driving accident victims. We understand the injuries and trauma that negligent drunk drivers cause, and we demand every dollar for our client’s economic and non-economic damages in these types of claims:
Auto Accidents
Auto accidents are the most common cause of accidents involving drunk driving. Drivers who have only one or two drinks can be sufficiently intoxicated to cause severe or fatal auto accidents. Our Jacksonville, TX, drunk driving lawyers will review the case and hold any liable party accountable for your losses. This process can include filing a lawsuit against any bar or restaurant that overserved an intoxicated patron.
Tractor-Trailer Accidents
Commercial truck drivers hold a commercial driver’s license and are more obligated to drive safely. However, some reckless truck drivers drink or use drugs as a way to deal with long hours on the road. A drunk truck driver can cause horrifying accidents that destroy people’s lives. Our drunk driving accident attorneys will fight hard to hold the trucker and their employer liable for their negligence.
Fighting The Insurance Company In Your Drunk Driving Claim
Every drunk driving injury case is different. The insurance company may be reluctant to pay your full damages in many drunk driving claims. This is common in severe accidents involving traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, amputations, and other long-term injuries.
However, our experienced drunk driving lawyers at Richards Penn Bonner know how to prove that a drunk driver was negligent and injured you.
