Drunk-Driver Claims

Arizona Drunk Driving Accident Lawyers

When drunk drivers injure people, juries often award higher damages to the victim because of the outrageous conduct of driving drunk. Punitive damages also come into play. Punitive damages are additional damages beyond your actual losses awarded to punish the at-fault party. If you were injured by a person who was driving under the influence, it's important to hire a lawyer who knows how to handle drunk driver accidents so you can obtain the maximum compensation.

As a former prosecutor for DUI cases for the city of Phoenix, attorney Craigg M. Voightmann has the legal experience to hold drunk drivers accountable. He understands toxicology and Arizona DUI law. As a former prosecutor, he knows how to follow the progress of the DUI through criminal court and use that evidence to help prove your case for civil liability.

Drunk driver accidents can also involve dram shop liability. Dram shop laws hold bars and restaurants responsible for damages caused by people who were served too much alcohol. Dram shop laws cover damages caused both in car crashes and also assaults caused by intoxicated individuals. In one of the dram shop cases we handled, we obtained compensation for a man who was attacked in a bar by a drunk person.

At The Voightmann Law Firm, our lawyers handle drunk driver accident and dram shop cases on a contingency fee basis. This means that you never pay attorney fees unless we are successful in obtaining compensation for you. Our fee, if we are successful, will be a percentage of the compensation we recover for you.
