DUI vehicle accidents most often lead to the serious injury or death of innocent victims. Shockingly, a third of the time those responsible for a DUI crash are repeat DUI offenders. In addition to representing injury and wrongful death clients in car and motorcycle accidents Coxwell & Associates also has a specialized focus in DUI accident lawsuits in Mississippi.
DUI Laws in Mississippi
DUI laws in Mississippi dictate that anyone operating a vehicle with a minimum blood alcohol level of .08 percent or while under the influence of a narcotic is “driving under the influence” (DUI). In these cases, the intoxicated driver is always liable for any damages; however, individuals may share negligence, such as those who supplied the driver with alcohol.
Civil Legal Action
In addition to the criminal charges that the liable party will face for driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, the victim or victim’s family (in the case of wrongful death) can choose to file a civil lawsuit against the defendant to recover financial compensation for the consequences of his or her careless action.
If you or a loved one has been the victim of a DUI accident, especially if it caused an injury, you need a lawyer. File a DUI accident lawsuit with the help of Coxwell & Associates. We can help you, and your family, get the restitution to which you are entitled.
