Common questions
What compensation can I recover in a DUI accident case?
In a DUI accident case, you may be eligible to recover various types of compensation including medical expenses (past and future), lost wages, loss of earning capacity, property damage, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and in some cases, punitive damages. Punitive damages are particularly relevant in DUI cases as they're designed to punish the drunk driver for their reckless behavior. At The Law Office of Brian R Toung, PA, we work diligently to identify all potential sources of compensation to maximize your recovery.
How is a DUI accident case different from a regular car accident case?
DUI accident cases differ from regular car accidents in several important ways. First, they often involve criminal charges against the impaired driver, which can strengthen your civil claim. Second, there's potential for punitive damages beyond compensatory damages. Third, there may be additional liable parties under Florida's dram shop laws if a business served alcohol to a visibly intoxicated person. These cases typically involve more severe injuries and higher settlement values. The Law Office of Brian R Toung, PA has specialized experience handling the unique aspects of DUI accident cases.
How long do I have to file a lawsuit after a DUI accident in Florida?
In Florida, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims, including those arising from DUI accidents, is generally two years from the date of the accident. However, there are exceptions that might shorten or extend this timeframe. It's crucial to consult with an attorney as soon as possible after an accident to ensure your rights are protected. Waiting too long could permanently bar your right to compensation. The Law Office of Brian R Toung, PA offers free initial consultations to evaluate your case and explain the applicable deadlines.
