Drunk driving accidents

Louisiana Drunk Driving Accident Lawyer

Drivers under the influence of drugs or alcohol can cause catastrophic accidents. Permanent disability or death often result from OUI / DWI accidents. At the law office of Kevin P. Tauzin, Attorney at Law, we obtain payment for individuals and their families injured or killed in drunk driving accidents.

Because of our experience handling crashes caused by drunk drivers, we can tell the story of the accident so that the injured person or the family of the person killed receives the full amount of compensation. If you or a family member has been seriously hurt by a driver under the influence, contact our Lafayette, Louisiana, law office to schedule a free initial consultation to learn how we can help you recover from your injuries.

If you have been seriously hurt by a drunk driver, you need a lawyer who knows how to get the payment you need to recover

Our law office has recovered compensation for people injured because a driver under the influence of alcohol or drugs crossed the centerline, hitting an oncoming vehicle. Many OUI accidents occur at very high speeds, causing severe injuries such as head and brain injuries, paraplegia, broken limbs, amputations, burns, and death. Impaired drivers seldom see danger coming. They fail to brake in time, hitting another vehicle, a lamppost, a bridge abutment, or a guardrail without slowing down. The high speed of a DWI crash adds to the severity of the accident injury.

Our attorney will take the proper legal actions to get victims of drunk drivers the payment they need. In addition to filing an injury or wrongful death claim, we can go to criminal court to be sure that clients receive restitution under Louisiana's Victims of Crime Act (VOCA). This law allows persons injured by drivers under the influence to receive special damages and other compensation. If you have been injured by a driver impaired by drugs or alcohol, contact an attorney who knows how to obtain full compensation for your injuries. Call the Lafayette office of Kevin P. Tauzin, Attorney at Law.
