Las Vegas Drunk-Driving Accident Attorneys

People get mad when a drunk person gets behind the wheel of a car and injures or kills someone. As a result, Nevada juries often go out of their way to award a high amount of money damages to the victims of a DUI injury.

If you or a family member has been injured in an accident caused by a drunk driver, the lawyers and staff at Jack Bernstein & Associates in Las Vegas have the resources and experience to help you seek the maximum compensation available. Our lawyers have obtained numerous settlements and verdicts in excess of $1 million for personal injury victims.  

Drunk-driving accidents are more complex than other types of car accident cases. Your attorney needs to conduct a thorough investigation of the accident and gather all evidence that is necessary to prove that the driver who injured you was drunk. Our lawyers have extensive experience in gathering the evidence needed to present your drunk-driving accident case effectively, including: 

• The video from the police car
• 911 recordings
• The drunk driver court file
• The results of the breathalyzer and field sobriety test

Many Las Vegas intersections have video cameras, which can be used to determine liability in a drunk-driving accident. This evidence, as well as the squad car video and 911 tape, are not kept indefinitely and must be quickly obtained and preserved by your lawyer. 

Insurance companies and insurance defense lawyers do not like to defend against drunk-driving accident cases. A full and competent presentation of the DUI evidence by your attorney is likely to cause the insurance company to pay a significantly higher settlement than in a car accident that does not involve a drunk driver.

Hotel, Casino, and Bar Liability in Drunk-Driver Accident Cases

In Nevada, bars, restaurants, casinos, and other establishments that serve alcohol have a duty not to serve someone who is visibly drunk. If they fail to stop serving an intoxicated person, they are responsible for the damage done by that person. This area of law is known as dram shop liability.
