Pursuing Justice In A DUI Caseit can be very frustrating and angering to be in a DUI accident. After all, drunk drivers understand that they are taking a risk and playing Russian roulette with lives whenever they get behind the wheel of a car after drinking. There is simply no excuse for drunk driving. It is not an honest mistake, the way some driver errors are.
If you've been severely injured in a drunk driving traffic accident, of course you will want justice. One way to pursue justice is to testify against the drunk driver if criminal charges are brought against the motorist. Depending on the situation, you may be able to submit a statement through law enforcement in order to ensure that the drunk driver cannot get back behind the wheel of a car and harm others.
Unfortunately, drunk drivers often try to fight DUI charges and go out of their way to reclaim their license and driving privileges as soon as possible. It can be frustrating to know that you have been severely or even permanently injured while a drunk driver is back on the road, possibly drinking and driving again.
Besides seeking criminal charges against the driver, though, there are things you can do. One option, for example, is to seek a civil claim or legal claim against the drunk driver. This can help you recover compensation to pay for pain and suffering, lost wages, medical bills, and the many other expenses you will likely face as a result of your injuries. In addition, pursuing a legal claim allows you to seek justice, no matter what the outcome of the criminal charges against the drunk driver. It is another way of holding that driver accountable for their actions and ensuring that the message is sent that drunk driving is never acceptable.
