In 2024, there were<a href=\"https:\/\/tableau.lsu.edu\/t\/CARTS\/views\/COBRA\/COBRADashboard\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> 13,675 driving while impaired (DWI) cases<\/a> in the state, a 4.29% increase from the previous year. DWI cases involve impaired driving in accidents and during traffic stops. When someone operates their vehicle impaired by alcohol or other substances, <strong>it increases the risk of an accident in several ways:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Limited muscle control and coordination<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Decrease in vision<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Short-term memory loss<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Lower reaction speeds<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Lowered ability to make reasoned decisions<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Effect on concentration and thinking<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Alcohol crashes disproportionately lead to fatal accidents. In Louisiana, alcohol-related crashes in 2025 made up nearly 5% of property damage-only accidents and over 6% of suspected injury accidents, but over 31% of fatal accidents.<\/p>\n<p>Unsurprisingly, many alcohol-related crashes occur over the course of the weekend. Nearly<a href=\"https:\/\/cartsdashboardserver.lsu.edu\/t\/CARTS\/views\/SectionJ-Dashboard\/SectionJ-Dashboard?:embed=y&amp;:display_count=n&amp;:showAppBanner=false&amp;:origin=viz_share_link&amp;:linktarget=_self&amp;:showVizHome=n\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> 60% of fatal alcohol-related crashes<\/a> and over 68% of suspected injury alcohol-related crashes occurred on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in Louisiana in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>If you are in an accident with a drunk driver, you might be able to hold that driver liable for your injuries and other damages. In many drunk driving accidents, the impaired driver\u2019s negligence was the cause of the crash, and this makes them liable for the damages.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"damages-available-in-a-drunk-driving-claim\"><\/span>Damages Available in a Drunk Driving Claim<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are able to hold a drunk driver entirely liable for your damages, <strong>you could recover compensation such as:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Medical treatment, both existing bills and related future treatment<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Lost income and benefits<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Reduced earning capacity<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Property damage repair or replacement costs<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Pain and suffering<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Emotional trauma<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Loss of quality of life<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In Louisiana, you may also be able to secure exemplary damages, which are called punitive damages in other states, although this relies on your parish and jurisdiction. These damages may be available when a drunk driver shows reckless disregard for the safety of others. They could greatly increase the total compensation you can recover in a civil claim.<\/p>\n<p>An attorney may be able to improve the compensation you can recover. They assess all your damages, both past and future. Many injured people only consider their immediate damages, like medical bills from Ochsner Health and car repair costs, and then have long-term costs they can\u2019t afford. An attorney helps avoid this and can help you hold the at-fault party fully accountable for their recklessness.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"filing-your-claim-before-the-deadline\"><\/span>Filing Your Claim Before the Deadline<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.murphylawfirm.com\/blog\/how-long-after-a-car-accident-can-you-file-a-personal-injury-claim-in-louisiana\/\">You have a limited period of time to file a civil claim<\/a>, and an even shorter time limit to file an insurance claim. This is why you have to act quickly after an accident. If you do not file an insurance claim quickly enough, the company will likely use this to undermine your case, or it may claim that your injuries are unrelated to the accident. This can make it much harder to recover financially.<\/p>\n<p>If you miss the deadline for a civil claim, you will likely be barred from any financial recovery. Missing the deadline also removes your leverage during insurance claim negotiations. Working with an attorney helps you remain aware of these deadlines and may make it easier to get fair compensation.<\/p>\n<section style=\"background-color: #f3f4f4; padding: 20px 10px; text-align: center;\">\n<div style=\"max-width: 800px; margin: 0 auto; width: 90%;\">\n<h2 style=\"font-family: 'Playfair Display', serif; font-size: 46px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 61.18px; color: #0e2c4d; margin-bottom: 10px;\">Meet Our Attorney<\/h2>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f3f4f4; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; border-radius: 8px; padding: 4px; box-shadow: 0 2px 4px rgba(0,0,0,0.1); display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; align-items: center;\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 200px; height: 270px; border-radius: 0; object-fit: cover; margin: 4px 15px 4px 4px; flex: 0 0 auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.murphylawfirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/hm-attrny-murphy-img-one.webp\" alt=\"Peyton Murphy\" \/><\/p>\n<div style=\"flex: 1; text-align: center; min-width: 180px; padding: 4px;\">\n<h3 style=\"font-family: 'Playfair Display', serif; font-size: 46px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 61.18px; color: #a15127; margin-bottom: 8px;\">Peyton Murphy<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-family: 'Onest-Regular', sans-serif; font-size: 19px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 34.2px; color: #000000; margin-bottom: 10px;\">Peyton Murphy, a Louisiana lawyer with 30+ years of experience, specializes in personal injury cases.
