Drunk Driving

When you are driving, you can only be responsible for your own actions. When other drivers make negligent and reckless decisions and decide to drive under the influence of alcohol, innocent people are the victims. If you have been injured in a drunk driving accident, you want an aggressive personal injury lawyer protecting your rights. At the Hurley Law Firm in Norfolk, we protect the rights of victims in auto accidents involving DUI and DWI.

Auto accidents happen, but it is difficult to think of a drunk driving crash as an accident. If the driver responsible for your traffic accident was drunk or under the influence of drugs, you want to make sure they are held accountable. In Virginia, you can receive punitive damages as well as compensatory damages if the other person was grossly negligent. Grossly negligent behavior can include driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Driving under the influence of alcohol is illegal. Law enforcement officials take such a hard stance against DUI and DWI because they can lead to dangerous traffic violations and auto accidents. If you have been injured in a drunk driving accident, we can help you get the full compensation you deserve.
