Tampa Drunk Driver Accident Lawyer

How a Tampa Drunk Driver Accident Lawyer Can Help

When an impaired driver hurts you, we pursue the driver and, where the law allows, those who over-served them.

When an impaired driver causes a crash, the criminal case is separate from your right to recover for your injuries, and a conviction is not required to win a civil claim. Florida's dram-shop law may also allow a claim against a vendor that unlawfully served an obviously intoxicated or underage driver.

We pursue the driver and, where the law allows, others who contributed to the impairment, and we account for the full impact of a crash that never should have happened.

Compensation You May Be Entitled To

• ✓Past and future medical expenses
• ✓Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
• ✓Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
• ✓Property damage and out-of-pocket costs

Drunk Driver Accidents FAQs

How much does a Tampa drunk driver accident lawyer cost?

Nothing up front. Mark H. Wright handles drunk driver accidents cases on a contingency fee — you pay no fee unless we recover compensation for you, and your initial consultation is always free.

How long do I have to file a drunk driver accidents claim in Florida?

Florida generally gives injury victims two years from the date of the injury to file a personal-injury lawsuit (shortened from four years by a 2023 reform). Some claims have shorter deadlines, so it is important to speak with an attorney quickly.

What is my drunk driver accidents case worth?

Every case is different. Value depends on the severity of your injuries, your past and future medical costs, lost income, and how the injury affects your life. We evaluate all of these to pursue the full compensation you are owed.

Do I have to go to court for a drunk driver accidents case?

Most cases settle without a trial. But Mark prepares every case as if it will be tried, which is often what convinces an insurer to make a fair offer.
