Pasco, WA - In Washington, when someone is driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, their ability to drive safely is severely compromised. If the impaired driving leads to a serious accident resulting in injuries or fatalities, the victim has the right to pursue legal action. These cases, whether DUI accidents, DWI accidents, or intoxicated driving accidents, stem from a simple reality: someone used a substance that impaired their ability to drive and caused harm to another.
Understanding how the law applies to these cases can be complicated, which is why BGN Attorneys' Washington DUI accident resource is dedicated to guiding victims through the legal process. DUI accident claims are complex and require specific knowledge of personal injury and wrongful death law. With the skills and resources necessary to pursue these cases, BGN Attorneys is here to help victims take action and fight for their rights.
The primary responsibility for a DUI accident lies with the impaired driver. However, the details of the accident can complicate matters. If, for instance, the impaired driver ran a red light or was texting while driving, they would likely be held accountable for those actions, in addition to the impairment. Washington's comparative negligence rule also applies if the victim is found partially at fault for the accident. In that case, their damages may be reduced based on how much fault is attributed to them.
Unlike other car accident cases, DUI accidents present unique challenges. One of the biggest hurdles is proving that the other driver was intoxicated and that this impairment directly caused the crash. The burden of proof requires showing that it is more likely than not that the intoxicated driver was at fault. This evidence might include police reports, blood alcohol content (BAC) tests, eyewitness testimonies, surveillance footage, photos from the scene, and accident reconstruction reports.
In addition to holding the driver accountable, BGN Attorneys also investigates other potential sources of liability. For example, if the driver was overserved alcohol at a bar or restaurant, BGN Attorneys can pursue the business under Washington's dram shop law. This allows victims to hold alcohol-serving establishments responsible for their role in the accident, helping to ensure they are compensated for their injuries.
BGN Attorneys works diligently to ensure that victims receive full compensation for their losses. This includes medical bills, vehicle damage, lost wages, funeral costs, and even intangible losses such as emotional distress and the loss of enjoyment of life.
