Are You a Victim of a DUI Accident?

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that 9,967 people were killed in alcohol-impaired driving crashes in 2014.  This accounted for almost one-third of all traffic-related deaths for that year in the U.S.  While the statistics are staggering, it doesn’t really hit home until you or a loved one is a victim of a drunk-driving accident. 

DUI accidents can cause horrific crashes and lead to serious injuries and death. If you or your family were injured in an accident caused by a drunk driver you may be entitled to damages.  If a member of your family was killed in a drunk driver accident, you may be able to pursue a wrongful death lawsuit.  In either case you need to attain legal services from experienced personal injury and wrongful death attorneys who understand Ohio’s DUI and liquor licensing laws.

At Schiff & Associates our team has the expertise to determine who is responsible.  Our experts investigate whether Ohio dram shop laws were violated and if the servers of the alcohol are financially liable for the subsequent actions of the DUI driver who became drunk on their premises.  The law applies to not only bars and restaurants but to liquor stores, refreshment vendor owners and their employees as well as hosts of parties held on private property.   

As a client of our firm, you will have the full support of our investigative team who start by examining the actual DUI accident, collect evidence such as bar tabs and video camera footage, and take statements from employees and witnesses.  Our approach to DUI accidents has helped countless clients to recover all of the expenses associated with injuries or loss of life.
