Fort Myers Drunk Driving Accident Lawyers

Our Fort Myers Drunk Driving Accident Lawyers are Passionate About Protecting Victims and Their Families

There are no excuses for drinking and driving. The risks of drunk driving are well known, and they are also easily avoided. All people have to do is make sure they are not in a position to get behind the wheel when it is unsafe for them to drive. Yet, people make the mistake of drinking and driving every single day, and far too often, this leaves innocent victims and their families in need of the experienced Fort Myers drunk driving accident lawyers at Spivey Law Firm, Personal Injury Attorneys, P.A, who can help them try to move on.

How We Help Victims and Families After Drunk Driving Accidents in Florida

What can we do to help you? Below are just some of the ways our Fort Myers drunk driving accident lawyers can help after a serious or fatal alcohol-involved accident in Florida.

1. Proving that the Driver Who Hit You (or Your Loved One) Was Impaired

One of our first priorities will be to prove that the driver who hit you (or your loved one) was impaired. While there are various ways to prove that a driver was drunk at the time of a collision, it is still imperative to promptly conduct a thorough investigation to gather the evidence needed to prove liability in your specific case.

2. Determining What Claim (or Claims) We Can File on Your Behalf

After we investigate the accident, we will be able to determine what claim (or claims) we can file on your behalf. While recovering just compensation may involve dealing with the drunk driver’s insurance company (or your family’s insurance company), it may be possible to hold the drunk driver’s employer or a bar, restaurant, or social host that served the drunk driver responsible as well.

3. Making Sure the Insurance Companies Don’t Take Advantage of Your Situation

Even when you are at your most vulnerable, the insurance companies will not hesitate to take advantage of you. Our Fort Myers drunk driving accident lawyers will deal with the insurance companies on your behalf so that you don’t have to worry about falling victim to their aggressive (and sometimes unlawful) defense tactics.

4. Helping You Understand the Long-Term Financial and Non-Financial Costs of the Accident

Serious and fatal accidents can leave victims and their families facing a lifetime of financial and non-financial costs. Our lawyers will help you understand the long-term costs of the accident. This includes not only out-of-pocket costs such as medical bills and lost wages, but also physical and emotional costs such as pain and suffering, post-traumatic stress, and loss of enjoyment of life.

5. Helping You Make Smart Decisions and Avoid Costly Mistakes

From helping you decide whether to take legal action to helping you decide when (and if) to accept an insurance settlement, we will help you make smart decisions throughout the recovery process. We will also help you avoid common—and costly—mistakes, including mistakes when dealing with the insurance companies.

6. Seeking the Maximum Compensation Available in Your Case

If you decide to take legal action, we will use our experience to seek the maximum compensation available in your case. If possible, we will file multiple claims to seek just compensation from multiple sources. This is important, as victims and families only get one opportunity to take legal action, and recovering the financial compensation you and your loved ones deserve can be critical for your long-term financial stability and well-being.

7. Doing Everything We Can to Hold the At-Fault Party (or Parties) Accountable

From gathering the evidence we need to dealing with the insurance companies and going to court if necessary, we will do everything we can to hold the at-fault party (or parties) accountable for your injuries or your loved one’s wrongful death. We are passionate about what we do, and while there are no guarantees, we have a long track record of securing the financial compensation our clients deserve.

What You Can Do to Maximize Your Chances of Recovery

While we will be able to take these steps (among many others) once you get in touch, there are also some steps that you need to take so that we can help you. For example, to help maximize your chances of recovery, you should:

• Prioritize Your Health – Whether you are facing life-altering injuries or coping with the loss of a loved one, it is extremely important that you prioritize your health. Get the treatment you need and do whatever you need to do to take care of yourself during this difficult time.
• Gather Any Documentation You Have Available – If you have any documentation that may be relevant to your drunk driving accident claim, you should gather this documentation, if possible. This includes your copy of the police report, your (or your loved one’s) medical and employment records, and any documents you have received from the insurance companies.
• Contact Us Right Away – The sooner we can get to work, the better. With this in mind, we strongly encourage you to contact us right away. Your initial consultation is free, and you will never have to pay anything out-of-pocket for our legal representation because we advance all costs on your behalf throughout the litigation. You do not owe us any attorney’s fees or costs unless we recover money for you.
