South Carolina Drunk Driving Accidents Lawyer

Drunk drivers put everyone on the road at risk: other drivers, passengers, pedestrians, even themselves. Awareness of the dangers of drunk driving and stiff criminal penalties have reduced the number of highway fatalities in recent years. The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration recently released numbers showing a 22 percent reduction in drunk driving deaths since 2005. But there are still far too many DWI accidents that cause serious injury or death to innocent victims every day.

If you've suffered from a serious injury in a South Carolina car accident caused by a drunk driver, you know that the consequences of a driver's intoxication can be life-altering. You may have been left with a long-term disability, and skyrocketing medical bills for your care. Perhaps you can no longer work, perform household chores or enjoy life's simple pleasures such as a long walk.

In South Carolina, there are still far too many drivers who are willing to get behind the wheel while intoxicated – and those drunk drivers cause far too many accidents. In 2008, South Carolina ranked sixth in the nation in motor vehicle deaths, and first in the percentage of motor vehicle deaths that were accident related. Stiff criminal penalties are important, and may prevent the driver from repeating his terrible crime – but that won't pay your medical bills.

You may feel that since the driver who hit you is poor or in jail and uninsured, it's not worth filing a lawsuit. In fact, the lawyers at Louthian Law Firm may be able to help you recover a settlement from your own insurance company if other coverage is not available.

At the Louthian Law Firm, our dedicated lawyers will do everything it takes to compile a compelling case on your behalf: visit the scene of the accident, interview witnesses and experts and collect medical records.
