Ohio Attorney Serving Drunk Driving Car Accident Victims

Serious or fatal drunk driving car accidents can generate significant attention from local media, criminal prosecutors, personal injury attorneys, agencies against drunk driving and others. In reality, someone made a terrible mistake and as a result others suffered serious consequences. Accident victims and the families of fatal accident victims are enduring some of the most difficult days of their lives in the aftermath of a drunk driving crash.

You should not have to deal with an insurance company who extends their condolences while trying to avoid liability. An experienced attorney can help you navigate the difficult road ahead while you focus on moving past the accident.

Our personal injury attorney, Hector G. Martinez, Jr. pursues every possible avenue of liability to ensure your family recovers the compensation than not only serves as justice, but that also provides them with the financial support that will be necessary in the years to come.

In addition to recovering compensation through the drunk driver's insurance policy, there may be an additional source of compensation. Ohio has established a set of alcohol liability laws that hold individuals and businesses accountable for the negligent serving of alcohol.

• Social host laws: It is illegal for an individual or business to knowingly provide alcohol to a minor. If a minor is knowingly served alcohol and that minor subsequently causes injury or death to another person in a drunk driving accident, the social host can be held financially responsible.
• Dram shop laws: It is illegal for a liquor establishment (bar, club, restaurant, liquor store, etc.) to serve or sell alcohol to someone who is already visibly intoxicated. The bar, restaurant or establishment can be held financially responsible for any injuries or deaths caused by the individual in a drunk driving car accident.

These liquor liability laws were created in an attempt to deter businesses and individuals from serving alcohol irresponsibly so that others are not forced to endure tragic results.
