Experienced Louisiana Personal Injury Lawyer
Representing People Injured in DUI Accidents
Injuries resulting from an alcohol-related crash are treated differently than injuries resulting from other motor vehicle accidents. In addition to getting compensation for the actual injures and financial losses, you can get punitive damages. At Modica, Dowden & Sledge, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, we are committed to helping our clients optimize the compensation they receive for injuries resulting from drunk driving accidents.
Effective Drunk Driving Accident Lawyers
Drunk drivers were responsible for nearly forty percent of all Louisiana traffic fatalities in 2005. This statistic does not include drunk driving accidents that caused serious and catastrophic injuries. The Louisiana Civil Code provides for punitive damages, in addition to general and special damages, when a motor vehicle accident involving injuries was caused by a drunk driver.
At Modica, Dowden & Sledge, we have the skill and resources necessary to help ensure that victims of drunk drivers maximize the compensation they receive for their injuries. We assist prosecutors pursuing negligent homicide or negligent injury charges related to drunk driving accidents, because we understand that a criminal conviction for drunk driving has the potential to increase your compensation.
Our attorneys take all drunk driving accident cases seriously. We understand that personal injures have a significant impact on individuals and the families that support them. We offer anyone injured by a drunk driver a free half hour initial consultation. In addition, we handle all our personal injury cases on a contingency basis. If we do not win your case there is no charge for our legal services.
