Camden County Lawyers Protecting the Rights of DUI and Other Accident Victims
When a person who is intoxicated gets behind the wheel of a car, that person is not simply being negligent. The law is being broken. When drunk driving leads to a motor vehicle accident, the drunk driver needs to be held accountable for the harm that is caused.

DUI/DWI accident cases are unique, but our experience allows us to easily navigate them with a commitment to getting the best possible results for the victim. Proof of our ability to succeed can be seen in the millions of dollars we have already recovered for accident victims throughout New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania.
How Do You Know the Driver Was Drunk?
Investigation is an important component of any auto accident case. Our attorneys always take great care to determine the cause of the accident. Sometimes, that requires bringing in highly trained experts to reconstruct the accident scene. In other cases, it is much simpler.
Because drunk driving is a crime, if a police officer arrives on an accident scene and suspects that the driver who caused the accident was intoxicated, breath or blood tests are likely to be conducted. When building our case, we can simply draw from the police report and the results of these tests that show how much alcohol was in the negligent driver's system.
Increased Compensation for Drunk Driving Accident Victims
Victims of drunk driving accidents may be entitled to additional compensation in the form of punitive damages. This is compensation that the drunk driver is court ordered to pay to the victim as a form of punishment for his or her illegal act. Punitive damages are in addition to the standard compensation for medical bills and other costs that accident victims are entitled to.
