Frequently Asked Questions

What is a DUI accident wrongful death case?
A DUI accident wrongful death case happens when someone dies because a driver impaired by alcohol or drugs caused a crash. The driver’s reckless or careless actions lead to a fatal accident, and the family can seek compensation for the loss and damages.
Can I file a wrongful death claim if the driver faces criminal charges?
Yes, you can still file a civil wrongful death claim even if the driver is being prosecuted in a criminal case. The criminal case focuses on punishment, while the wrongful death claim helps the family recover compensation for their financial and emotional losses.
What types of evidence are important in DUI wrongful death cases?
Key evidence includes police reports, toxicology tests confirming impairment, statements from witnesses, and accident reconstruction details. These help prove how the driver’s impairment caused the fatal crash.
How long do I have to file a wrongful death claim?
The time limit varies by state, but families usually have about two years from the date of the death to file the claim. Acting quickly is important to ensure you meet the deadline and preserve evidence.
What compensation can families claim in DUI wrongful death cases?
Families can claim compensation for expenses such as funeral costs, medical bills, lost income, and emotional suffering. These damages help cover both financial burdens and the hardship of losing a loved one.
