Driving under the influence (DUI) is one of the most dangerous and reckless decisions a driver can make. Not only does it put the driver’s life at risk, but it endangers everyone else on the road. If you or a loved one has been injured due to a drunk driver, Buckeye Law Group is here to help.

The Dangers of DUI

Alcohol and drugs impair a driver’s reaction time, judgment, and coordination, increasing the likelihood of:
✔ Fatal car accidents
✔ Severe injuries to pedestrians and cyclists
✔ Head-on collisions and rollovers

Lifelong Consequences of DUI Accidents

Victims of DUI accidents often suffer from:
✔ Permanent disabilities (brain injuries, paralysis)
✔ Emotional trauma and PTSD
✔ Lost wages and mounting medical bills

Who Can Be Held Liable?

  • The drunk driver can be sued for damages and medical costs.
  • Bars or restaurants that overserved the driver may also be liable under dram shop laws.

Seeking Justice for DUI Victims

✔ File a claim against the at-fault driver’s insurance.
✔ Pursue compensation for medical bills and emotional suffering.
✔ Hold bars/restaurants accountable if overserving played a role.
