Drunk Driving Accident Attorney Boca Raton
Serving Florida from our Boca Raton Office
Despite the increased punishments against drunk driving, hundreds of individuals choose to get behind the wheel after consuming alcoholic beverages.
Drunk driving is 100 percent preventable. When a driver chooses to blatantly ignore the law and put other people’s lives at risk, they should be held accountable for damages and injuries they cause.
If you or a loved one has been injured because of a drunk driver, you need an accident injury lawyer. The team at Glotzer & Kobren, P.A. will represent your rights and help you recover compensation for injuries and losses associated with that accident.
Drunk Driving Laws in Florida are Serious
In Florida, it is illegal to operate a vehicle with a blood alcohol level of 0.08 percent or more. If a driver is pulled over with a concentration at the limit or above, then he or she will be arrested.
Also, drivers who show impairment—such as those who cannot pass the field sobriety test—will be arrested regardless of their BAC level. A teen driver with any level of alcohol in their system will be arrested, while commercial drivers can be arrested for levels of 0.04 percent or higher.
Injuries Associated with Drunk Driving Accidents
Drunk driving accidents are some of the most severe and tragic in the nation. The impaired driver may not realize they are operating at high speeds nor will they take any steps to avoid a collision.
Some of the more common injuries seen in these types of accidents include:
- Broken bones, fractures, and sprains
- Soft tissue injuries (i.e. whiplash)
- Amputation
- Bruises, burns, cuts, and lacerations
- Traumatic brain injury or minor brain injuries
- Spinal cord damage or paralysis
- Death

Compensation for Accidents Involving Drunk Drivers
As the victim of a DUI accident, you may be able to recover damages for your injuries or the loss of a loved one.
You can seek compensation for:
- Medical expenses
- Burial costs
- Companionship loss
- Loss of instruction
- Personal property damage
- Pain and suffering
You have up to four years to initiate your claim, but it is best that you speak to an attorney immediately after the accident to increase the likelihood your claim will be successful and to also ensure you receive the best possible settlement.
If you have a relative or loved one who has died because of the injuries they sustained in a drunk driving accident years ago, then you may still have options for filing a lawsuit.
