Drunk driving is against the law and is a serious safety concern for any driver on the road.

Trusted Injury Lawyers in Boulder County

In most cases, a drunk driver is presumed to be liable for any injuries he or she may have caused in an accident. This presumption is based on the fact that the driver broke the law by driving under the influence of alcohol. Unfortunately, the presumption of liability does not necessarily mean it will be easy to collect the damages you deserve. Insurance companies may challenge your doctors’ reports regarding your injuries or claim that you were partially at fault for the accident. In other cases, insurers will do everything they can to delay paying your claim.

Depending on the circumstances of your case, there may be other parties who share responsibility for the accident as well. For example, under Colorado's dram shop laws, an establishment that serves a person who is underage or visibly intoxicated may be liable for injuries caused by that person as a result of driving under the influence. Our attorneys will fully investigate the details of your crash to ensure that all parties with potential liability are held accountable for their actions or negligence.
