What if the at-fault driver was drunk?
A: If the at-fault driver was intoxicated at the time of the collision this is one instance in which you should contact an experienced personal injury attorney immediately. This is because in addition to a claim against the at-fault driver there may also be a liquor liability claim. To establish a liquor liability claim it is necessary to show that an illegal sale of alcohol was made to the at-fault driver. Evidence to prove the illegal sale can very rapidly dissipate and with it the liquor liability claim. Further, the period within which you must bring a liquor liability claim (known as the statute of limitations) is only two years as opposed to the six years within which a claim against the at-fault driver can be made. Immediate action is, therefore, necessary.
