Drunk driving remains a major problem in central and Southern Illinois, despite all the media coverage, educational efforts and increased DUI enforcement intended to deter this crime. As you may have learned painfully or tragically, anyone on our roadways can be a victim.
Injured by a Drunk Driver? Grieving After a Fatal DUI-Related Crash?
If you or a family member has been seriously injured by a drunk driver — or you are grieving the loss of a loved one — you definitely need qualified legal guidance and representation. Important considerations include:
- The criminal court system is not perfect, and ensuring the offending driver is brought to justice may require follow-up by a knowledgeable Belleville drunk driving accident attorney.
- Unfortunately, many drivers who commit a serious driving offense such as DUI also commit others, such as driving without insurance or leaving the scene — making it imperative for you to have a resourceful, committed lawyer on your side.
- Depending on the circumstance of your case, you may have not only an insurance claim and negligence claim against the driver who harmed you, but also a just "dram shop" action against a bar or other business owner.

Whatever complexities your case presents, including an insurance claim denial or delay, the involvement of a commercial truck driver, or others, you can depend on our legal knowledge.
