Injured in a Drunk Driving Accident? Protecting the Injured in Wisconsin & Minnesota

Drunk Driving Accident Attorney

There is nothing worse than finding out your loved one has been killed in a vehicle accident. If you also discover that the reason was due to a drunk driver, then this can make the wound even deeper. At Bye, Goff & Rohde, we represent clients suffering from serious injury or the loss of a loved one behind the wheel. Our experienced drunk driving accident attorneys can help you.

Type of Injuries Caused by Drunk Drivers

Drinking and driving car accidents should never happen. However, they do. Drunk driving accounts for nearly 40 percent of all auto accident deaths. Even though it is against the law to drive with a BAC level of .08 or higher, people do on a daily basis. If you have lost a loved one or sustained a serious injury due to a drinking and driving car accident, then you deserve more than just an apology.

One of the worst things about all auto-related accidents is they can result in serious, life-threatening injuries. Vehicles travel at an incredibly fast pace. The sheer impact of the crash can do serious and permanent damage to bodies.

Auto accidents often result in:

  • Traumatic brain injuries, skull fractures, and other head injuries
  • Neck, spine, and back injuries
  • Broken bones and amputation
  • Permanent disability and paralysis
  • Wrongful death

Is a DUI Charge Really Enough?

One of the biggest confusions surrounding alcohol-related vehicle crashes is that you are crossing the legal line into both personal injury and criminal law. While the drunk driver will most likely be charged with criminal vehicular homicide, DUI, or other charges, this is often not enough. After all, how can the person that killed your spouse behind bars pay for the impending bills that are now overdue without a steady income?
