Abogado de accidentes por conducir ebrio en Nueva Orleans
New Orleans Drunk Driving Accident Attorney
No one should be left to deal with the aftermath of a drunk driving accident by themselves, and with a skilled New Orleans drunk driving accident lawyer by your side, you won’t have to.
En Murphy Law Firm, nuestro equipo helps victims and their families pursue justice and compensation when dealing with the complicated outcome of a drunk driving accident, and we’re here to fight for your rights.
Drunk Driving Wrecks Aren’t Just Accidents, They’re Negligence
Every day, 32 people are killed on U.S. roads because of drunk driving, and these fatalities account for 30% of all traffic deaths. In addition, 30% of all drunk drivers are repeat offenders. When a person chooses to drink and then get behind the wheel, they gamble with their lives and the lives of everyone else on the road.
Unfortunately, it’s often innocent people who end up paying the price. In Louisiana, victims of DUI crashes have the legal right to pursue financial recovery, which means you could be entitled to compensation for things like:
- Medical bills, including ongoing treatment and rehab
- Lost wages and loss of future earning ability
- Dolor y sufrimiento
- Daños materiales
- Angustia emocional
- Punitive damages in extreme cases
With drunk driving still contributing to a shocking portion of car accident fatalities in Louisiana, pursuing compensation isn’t just about recovery—it’s about accountability.
At Murphy Law Firm, we believe in holding impaired drivers accountable. If you’ve been hit by a drunk driver, your injuries and damages aren’t just collateral damage. Our team can help you pursue the justice and compensation you deserve.
After a DUI Crash: What Should You Do?
Your first steps can shape the entire course of your recovery and your case. Whether you’re seriously injured or just trying to make sense of what happened, these early steps can protect your health, your rights, and your future claim, and they are:
- Get medical care. Even if you feel okay, adrenaline can mask serious injuries.
- Documéntelo todo. Take photos, write down what you remember, and keep track of all expenses related to the accident.
- Request a copy of the police report. Officers typically note suspected DUI involvement, which can help support your civil claim.
- Avoid talking to the other driver’s insurance company. Let a lawyer handle it to avoid saying anything that could be used against you.
- Talk to a local attorney early. The sooner Murphy Law Firm gets involved, the better we can protect your rights.
We’ve guided many injured victims through the aftermath of drunk driving crashes in Louisiana, helping them secure compensation while holding the right parties accountable.
You don’t have to have all the answers right away, but you do need someone in your corner who does. At Murphy Law Firm, we guide DUI crash victims through every stage of the process, from filing insurance claims to building a case for compensation. When you’re dealing with the aftermath of someone else’s reckless choices, you shouldn’t have to figure it out alone. We’re here to help.
Insurance Companies Aren’t on Your Side
It’s not unusual to assume the insurance company is there to make things right. Unfortunately, that’s rarely the case. Insurance adjusters might sound helpful on the phone, but their job is to protect the company’s bottom line, not your well-being.
They could offer a quick settlement, ask misleading questions, or downplay the severity of your injuries because once you accept a payout, you typically waive your right to seek more, even if your medical bills keep piling up.
At Murphy Law Firm, we’ve seen the tactics insurers use to pressure injured people into accepting less than they need and deserve. Our team steps in to handle all communications, push back against lowball offers, and fight for a result that reflects the real cost of your injuries.
Why a Local Lawyer Matters in a DUI Injury Case
Working with a New Orleans drunk driving accident lawyer means you’re choosing someone who understands the unique terrain of Louisiana law, the rhythm of the local court system, and the strategies insurance companies tend to use here.
We’ve handled cases in and around New Orleans for years, including those in the Orleans Parish Civil District Court, the 24th Judicial District Court in Jefferson Parish, and the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana. This means we know how local judges think, how defense attorneys argue, and how Nueva Orleans juries respond because we’ve been in those courtrooms time and time again.
That local experience matters—especially when working through nuanced laws like Louisiana’s personal injury statute of limitations, which can directly impact your filing window.
At Murphy Law Firm, we’re prepared for what’s ahead, and if your case goes to trial, that kind of familiarity isn’t just helpful; it can change the entire outcome. With Murphy Law Firm, you’re not just getting a lawyer; you’re getting a local ally who knows the system and how to use it to fight for the compensation you deserve.
