Negligent Conduct vs. Aggravated Liability

Car accidents caused by drunk drivers often involve complex issues of the law. The degree of intoxication of the driver can play a role in whether or not punitive damages can be awarded.

The circumstances and severity of the accident may also determine whether the drunk driver is charged with DUI, vehicular assault or vehicular manslaughter.

Our in-house investigator will make sure that every aspect of your case is properly investigated.

Arizona Dram Shop Law: Bar and Liquor Store Liability

Bars, restaurants, nightclubs and liquor stores who sell alcohol to patrons who they know or reasonably should know are already intoxicated can be held liable for any drunk driving accident damages that result under Arizona's dram shop law.

One of the advantages of contacting the firm for help after a serious drunk driving accident is that our experienced attorneys will work to identify all those who can be held legally liable for your injuries and will pursue the fair compensation you deserve at trial, if necessary.

We will investigate the level of intoxication of the driver and where they consumed the liquor to determine if the person was served alcohol after he or she was known to be drunk.
