When someone chooses to drink and drive, they put everyone else at risk. If you or a loved one was injured in a DUI crash in Savannah, Pooler, or anywhere in Chatham County, you may be entitled to compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, and long-term suffering.
At Ted Law Firm, we take drunk driving cases seriously because these aren’t just accidents. They’re preventable tragedies. We help victims and families hold impaired drivers accountable and fight for justice.
Why Drunk Driving Cases Are Different
Unlike a typical car accident, a drunk driving crash may involve both civil and criminal liability. And if the conduct was especially reckless, you may be eligible for punitive damages compensation designed to punish the at-fault driver.
Drunk driving injury claims often involve:
- DUI criminal charges filed by law enforcement
- Police reports, BAC results, and eyewitness statements
- Potential dram shop liability (bars or restaurants that over-served the driver)
- Insurance companies looking to settle quickly and cheaply
We build strong civil cases using all available evidence—even while the criminal case is pending.
Common Injuries in Drunk Driving Crash
Drunk driving crashes are often high-speed, high-impact, and extremely dangerous.
We represent victims with:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Broken bones or crushed limbs
- Internal organ damage
- Facial injuries and disfigurement
- Fatal injuries (wrongful death)
We work closely with your doctors and care providers to ensure your case reflects the full scope of your injuries and long-term recovery needs.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
If you were hit by a drunk driver, you may be entitled to significant compensation for:
- Medical expenses (immediate and long-term)
- Lost wages and loss of earning potential
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional trauma or PTSD
- Permanent disability or scarring
- Funeral and burial costs (in fatal cases)
- Punitive damages to punish extreme negligence
We pursue every available source of compensation including the drunk driver’s personal and commercial insurance coverage.
What If the Driver Was Uninsured?
If the at-fault driver doesn’t have insurance or doesn’t have enough there are still options:
- Your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage (UM/UIM)
- Dram shop claims against bars or restaurants that overserved the driver
- Third-party claims against vehicle owners or employers (in some cases)
We explore every possible path to make sure you’re not left paying the price.
