Civil Vs. Criminal Law: Understanding The Difference

Each case is different, and depending on your circumstances, there are different things you can expect. A criminal case happens when the local district attorney prosecutes the drunk driver for endangering those around him or her. In these cases, you may not receive compensation. However, this charge will obviously have a major impact on the drivers’ future.

A civil case happens when we take the pursuit of justice into our own hands. By suing the drunk driver, they can be found liable. You can then recover damages for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. We can also fight for punitive damages, which are intended to penalize the driver and discourage them from repeating this behavior. Whether or not you know how you would like to proceed, we will help you determine all of the possible options and decide how to move forward.

Unfortunately, these cases can sometimes have catastrophic results. If your loved one passed away due to someone else’s negligence, it is imperative that you hold them accountable.

We are here to provide honest and fearless advocacy for those who deserve it.
