Drunk driving is a choice, and it’s one that can destroy lives. If you or someone you love was hit by a drunk driver in North Augusta, Belvedere, or anywhere in Aiken or Edgefield County, you may be entitled to compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, and emotional trauma.
At Ted Law Firm, we represent victims of drunk and drug-impaired drivers. We take these cases seriously because reckless choices should never go unanswered, and because victims deserve justice.
Why Drunk Driving Accidents Are Different
Drunk driving isn’t just negligence, it’s a criminal act. That means you may be entitled to more than just basic damages.
Your case may involve:
- Punitive damages, to punish reckless behavior
- A criminal DUI case happening alongside your injury claim
- Bars or restaurants that overserved the driver (dram shop liability)
We handle the civil side of your personal injury claim while working with prosecutors and investigators to strengthen your case.
Common Scenarios in Drunk Driving Crashes
Impaired drivers cause some of the most violent crashes on the road. We’ve handled cases involving:
- Rear-end collisions at red lights or stop signs
- T-bone accidents at intersections like Martintown Road and Knox Avenue
- Head-on crashes on rural highways or divided roads
- Pedestrian injuries near bars, schools, or residential neighborhoods
- Fatal crashes during night or weekend hours
No matter where or when it happened, we’re here to help you build a strong claim and hold the drunk driver accountable.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
If you’ve been injured in a DUI crash, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Emergency medical care and hospital bills
- Ongoing treatment and physical therapy
- Lost wages and reduced earning potential
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional trauma and mental health treatment
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
- Funeral and burial expenses (for fatal crashes)
- Punitive damages for egregious conduct
We work with your medical providers, financial experts, and care specialists to calculate the full cost of your recovery.
What If the Driver Was Uninsured or Underinsured?
Sadly, many impaired drivers don’t carry enough insurance—or any at all. In those cases, we look at:
- Your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage (UM/UIM)
- Dram shop liability if a bar, club, or restaurant served the driver while they were clearly intoxicated
- Third-party liability if an employer, vehicle owner, or another party contributed to the crash
At Ted Law Firm, we explore every option to maximize your recovery.
