Personal Injury Law & DWI Accident Cases

There are a number of cases when a car accident is nothing more than a result of a motorist who has been consuming alcoholic beverages prior to taking to the roads in their vehicle. Thus, the threat of being hit by a drunk driver is real.

In cases like this, there will be multiple courses of litigation. One being a criminal trial in related to the fact that the car accident was caused as a result of DWI or DUI, a criminal offense related to driving drunk which is illegal in all states. The other being related to personal injury litigation, or tort law, in other words.

Normally, when a DWI assault, or DWI Manslaughter case to goes to trial, its an open and shut case resulting in a conviction for the defendant. However, albeit rare, there have been cases in which very persuasive, sharp, professional DWI lawyers have won cases which have shocked public by way of the handing down of a not guilty verdict post trial.
