Relief for Drunk Driving Accident Victims
Auto Accident Lawyers in Baton Rouge and Lake Charles, Louisiana

Maximum Compensation for Drunk Driving Accident Victims
At the McKernan Law Firm, we have the utmost compassion for clients who have been injured in car accidents involving drunk drivers. Unfortunately, due to the amount of alcohol in the reckless driver's system, these accidents frequently involve catastrophic injuries or even wrongful death. That is because the driver either drove the wrong way, crossed the center line (causing a head-on collision), ran a red light (causing a jackknife accident) or drove on the sidewalk or pedestrian area (causing a pedestrian or bicycle accident ).
In Louisiana, there is a law that allows for heightened awards or extra compensation in the form of punitive damages for drunk driving accident victims. In addition to seeking this on behalf of our clients, we also seek compensation for:
- Medical expenses
- Time lost from work (lost wages)
- Loss of future earning capacity or future earnings
- Diminished quality of life
- Physical and mental pain and suffering
- Scarring and disability
- Funeral expenses
Our personal injury attorneys have extensive experience handling drunk driving accidents and often employ the latest technology and expert witnesses to present compelling cases. Drunk driving accidents are avoidable tragedies. We take a stand and fight to secure maximum compensation for our clients and their families.
