Drunk driver accidents are accidents caused by a driver who was careless enough to drink and drive — an irresponsible and egregious act.

Over the years the attorneys Mike McLeod & Randy Thompson have seen very serious injuries and death resulting from accidents caused by an impaired driver. Since 1980, the fatality rate of alcohol related accidents has fallen by half. Still, nearly 10,000 people every year are victims of drivers who drive while intoxicated.

Whenever one of our clients is seriously injured in a accident caused by an impaired driver, we take particular interest in all of the facts and circumstances about how the impaired driver hurt our client. In Florida, the state law allows not only compensation for damages caused by a drunk driver, but also what is called punitive damages or punitive compensation. This is monetary compensation designed to punish the impaired driver for getting behind the wheel and causing bodily injury and damages.

If you or a family member or friend have been injured in a drunk driver caused accident, please call us at McLeod & Thompson, anytime, day or night. Let our experience work for you.
