According to an estimate it is come to be known that driving whilst drunk causes the death of more than 3,000 people per year, with one in seven deaths on the road caused by drivers who are over the legal limit. Determining the appropriate value of a claim for personal injury from an auto accident involving a drunk driver is complicated. It involves evaluating the nature and extent of the injury, the economic losses that are recoverable, the liability issues related to the accident and the driver's history of driving drunk. Insurance companies for drunk drivers have vast experience in evaluating personal injury claims from auto accidents and will seek to obtain the lowest settlement possible. Therefore, it is important to have an attorney or lawyer with considerable experience dealing with the insurance company on your behalf. Visit no win no fee claims for more information.
