A drunk driving crash is not just an accident it’s a preventable act of negligence. If you or a loved one was hurt by an impaired driver in Spartanburg, you have the right to seek compensation for your injuries, losses, and the trauma caused by someone else’s reckless decision.
At Ted Law Firm, we represent victims of DUI crashes throughout Spartanburg County, including Boiling Springs, Duncan, and the greater Upstate South Carolina region. We know how to hold drunk drivers, and their insurance companies accountable.
Where and How Drunk Driving Accidents Happen
Drunk driving crashes often occur near nightlife areas, highways, and busy intersections like:
- Interstate 85 and 26 interchanges
- West Main Street near downtown Spartanburg
- US-221, SC-295, and other local corridors
Common behaviors leading to DUI crashes include:
- Running red lights or stop signs
- Swerving into other lanes
- Speeding or driving too slowly
- Failing to yield at intersections or crosswalks
- Head-on or rear-end collisions
We investigate these incidents thoroughly to prove fault and pursue all available sources of compensation.
Injuries Commonly Caused by Drunk Driving Crashes
Because drunk drivers are often speeding or driving unpredictably, the resulting crashes tend to be severe. Victims frequently suffer:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord damage and paralysis
- Broken bones and orthopedic trauma
- Internal bleeding or organ damage
- Disfigurement, burns, or amputations
- Emotional trauma or PTSD
- Fatal injuries requiring a wrongful death claim
We help victims access the medical care and financial recovery they need to heal and move forward.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
If a drunk driver caused your injuries, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical bills (current and future)
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress and trauma
- Property damage
- Funeral expenses (in fatal crashes)
- Punitive damages to punish reckless conduct
We work with medical professionals, financial experts, and accident investigators to build a full, evidence-based claim.
Can You Also Sue the Bar or Restaurant?
Yes. Under South Carolina’s dram shop law, a bar, restaurant, or store may be liable if they:
- Knowingly served or sold alcohol to a visibly intoxicated person, and
- That person caused a DUI crash resulting in injury or death
We evaluate whether a dram shop claim applies in your case and pursue all responsible parties.
