Were You Injured in a Drunk Driving Car Accident?
In 2006 in Arizona, 585 people were killed in alcohol-related motor vehicle accidents. That is 45 percent of all fatal traffic accidents. Of those 585 fatalities, 484 involved a driver who was legally drunk, with a blood alcohol level of .08 or higher.

Seeking Compensation for Damages
Our law firm's personal injury lawyers have helped victims of drunk driving accidents recover financial compensation for their losses over more than 40 years. From our law office in Tucson, we represent clients throughout southeast Arizona.
We will help you obtain the full extent of compensation you deserve for your medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages or income, and property damages. In addition, if the defendant is convicted of drunk driving in criminal court, we will also seek punitive damages — those meant to punish and deter reprehensible behavior.
Making a Victim's Statement in Criminal Court
We will not only represent you in your personal injury or wrongful death claim in civil court; we will represent you as the victim in the criminal prosecution against the drunk driver.
Our lawyers will fully explore the circumstances of the case to identify all possible sources of liability. We will interview witnesses, take photographs of the scene and find out where the defendant was drinking before the accident.
If he or she was served alcohol at a bar or restaurant before the accident, we may be able to pursue legal action against that establishment. We work to obtain the maximum compensation available, covering lost wages and medical care for catastrophic injuries, such as traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord injuries.
