Drunk Driving Accident Overview

Aggressive Legal Representation for Victims of Michigan Drunk Drivers

Drunk driving accidents are more preventable than most any other type of accident. At the law firm of Bredell & Bredell, we represent people who have been seriously injured or killed in Michigan accidents that were caused by drunk drivers. In general, we take an aggressive approach in investigating these accidents, in negotiating with insurance companies on behalf of our clients, and in presenting powerful and compelling cases in court, whenever necessary.

What if the Drunk Driver Doesn't Have Insurance?

This is a common problem for drunk driving accident victims. The reality is that many of the same drivers who are responsible for these tragedies are also the same drivers who can't afford insurance because of previous DUI convictions.

To deal with this issue, Michigan, like many other states, has enacted a dram shop law, a.k.a. liquor liability law. Essentially, this law enables victims to pursue compensation from bars, restaurants and other social hosts who were negligent in serving alcohol to the minors or adults who cause these crashes.

However, the law also gives victims only a short amount of time in which to file a lawsuit against the business or individual who served the alcohol irresponsibly. It is also critical for victims to speak with an experienced lawyer about their case as soon as possible because the more time that passes, the harder it becomes to locate witnesses who can help us establish that the bar or social host was negligent.

A member of our firm can examine your situation and determine if dram shop liability may be applicable to your case.
