DUI Jury Trial Attorneys – Fighting for Justice and Holding Insurance Companies Accountable

 

Aggressive Representation for DUI Victims

At AVS, we specialize in representing victims of DUI accidents and holding negligent drivers accountable for the harm they cause. Our experienced jury trial attorneys are prepared to take cases to court when insurance companies refuse to act in good faith. When you work with us, you are not just hiring a law firm, you are gaining a team of dedicated trial attorneys who expose bad faith tactics, fight for maximum compensation, and ensure justice is served.

Proving Liability in DUI Cases

A successful DUI injury claim starts with proving liability. The burden is on us to demonstrate that the drunk driver was responsible for the accident and the resulting damages. To build a strong case, we gather and analyze critical evidence, including:

  • Police Reports – Official documentation of the arrest, accident scene details, and officer observations.
  • Breathalyzer & Blood Test Results – Objective proof of intoxication that strengthens the case against the at-fault driver.
  • Witness Testimony – Statements from bystanders, passengers, or other drivers who can confirm reckless behavior.
  • Accident Reconstruction – Expert analysis to determine exactly how the collision occurred and establish fault.

By meticulously compiling evidence, we leave no room for insurers to dispute the facts. Our thorough approach ensures that our clients have the strongest possible case in settlement negotiations and at trial.

Maximizing Compensation for DUI Victims

Victims of DUI accidents often face devastating physical, emotional, and financial consequences. At AVS, we fight aggressively to recover full and fair compensation for our clients, including:

Economic Damages

  • Medical Expenses – Past, present, and future medical bills related to injuries sustained in the crash.
  • Lost Wages & Future Earnings – Compensation for time missed at work and any reduction in earning capacity.
  • Property Damage – Costs associated with repairing or replacing a damaged vehicle and other personal property.

Non-Economic Damages

  • Pain and Suffering – Compensation for the physical pain and emotional distress endured as a result of the accident.
  • Loss of Enjoyment of Life – Damages awarded when injuries prevent a victim from engaging in activities they once loved.
  • Emotional Distress – Anxiety, PTSD, and other psychological effects caused by the crash.

Punitive Damages

Unlike economic and non-economic damages, punitive damages are designed to punish the at-fault driver for their reckless behavior and deter similar conduct in the future. Drunk driving is a particularly egregious offense, and in many cases, courts will award punitive damages to send a clear message that such actions will not be tolerated. Our attorneys are experienced in arguing for punitive damages, ensuring that offenders are held fully accountable for their negligence.

Taking DUI Cases to Trial – We Don’t Back Down

Insurance companies often try to settle DUI cases quickly and for as little money as possible. They hope that victims will accept lowball offers out of desperation. At AVS, we don’t fall for these tactics. We are trial attorneys first and foremost, and we do not hesitate to take cases to court when necessary.

  • We do not negotiate with insurance adjusters; we negotiate with attorneys. Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize payouts, but our experienced trial lawyers know how to push back and demand fair compensation.
  • We expose bad faith tactics. If an insurance company unjustly denies or undervalues a valid claim, we put them in a position where a bad faith lawsuit becomes a serious threat.
  • We are prepared for trial from day one. While many law firms aim to settle quickly, we take a strategic approach—building every case as if it will go before a jury. This preparation puts pressure on insurance companies and often results in larger settlements for our clients.

Holding Insurance Companies Accountable for Bad Faith in DUI Cases

When a drunk driver causes an accident, their insurance company is legally obligated to compensate the victims. However, insurers frequently attempt to avoid paying the full amount owed by engaging in bad faith practices, such as:

  • Denying valid claims without justification
  • Delaying payments unnecessarily
  • Offering settlements that do not cover the victim’s full losses

At AVS, we recognize these tactics for what they are: efforts to prioritize profits over people. We aggressively challenge insurance companies that fail to act in good faith, forcing them to take responsibility for their policyholders’ actions. If an insurer’s misconduct is particularly egregious, we may pursue a separate bad faith insurance claim, potentially increasing the compensation they receive.
