Why Drunk Driving Accident Victims in Delray Beach Hire The Russo Firm

Clients do not choose their lawyer by throwing a dart at a board. Drunk driving accident victims choose The Russo Firm for good reason, and there are many such reasons.

When we ask our clients, some of the most common explanations they give for hiring our firm include:

Versatile Lawyers with Valuable Legal Experience

We employ many lawyers, each with a unique background, case experience, and legal focus. All of our attorneys are driven and highly competent, and we will assign you an attorney who:

• Has the room in their caseload to provide personalized attention to your case
• Has helped other victims of drunk drivers secure settlements and verdicts
• Is located in Delray Beach
• Has a personality that aligns with your needs in a lawyer

Our attorneys have many years of relevant experience. This experience will be helpful as we lead your case. We have encountered countless legal challenges, used a variety of strategies, and achieved results for many clients. 

More Than $1 Billion in Settlements and Verdicts

The cost of drunk driving is high. Victims often face crushing medical bills from personal injuries, long-lasting pain and suffering damages, loss of income, and many other damages. When you’re looking for your lawyer, you must be certain they can recover all the compensation you deserve.

The Russo Firm has:

• Recovered more than $1 billion for our clients
• Secured $1.4 billion in a single case
• Secured $520 million in another case
• Obtained $200 million in another case

No matter how much money you are entitled to, you will know your lawyer can secure the compensation you deserve. Drunk driving accidents in Delray Beach can even be fatal, in which case you are almost certainly deserving of a large sum for your tragic loss.

Willingness to Take Drunk Drivers to Court

Even when someone engages in indefensible behavior—including causing an accident while drunk—they may refuse to take accountability. Insurance companies, drunk drivers, and others who owe you compensation may:

• Accuse you of causing the accident and try to shift the blame.
• Claim pre-existing injuries before the accident to minimize their liability.
• Dispute the value of your pain and suffering damages to reduce the compensation they owe.
• Delay, deny, or devalue our settlement demands to avoid paying a fair settlement.
• Engage in other behaviors that lead us to file a lawsuit and go to court.

We have obtained many verdicts by taking clients’ cases to court, and we will do the same for you if that’s the path you ask us to pursue.

Bottomless Investment in Our Cases

Winning cases have many elements, including financial investment. Because The Russo Firm has successfully represented many clients, and we have all the resources your case will require. Your Delray Beach drunk driving lawyer will:

• Hire any experts who can assist with your case, including engineers, doctors, mental health professionals, and economists
• Commission an expert to reconstruct the drunk driving accident, if it is helpful to your case
• Take any other steps that improve your case, regardless of how much those steps cost

Your lawyer’s time and effort are other assets you receive when hiring an attorney. Money is no object when you hire The Russo Firm, as we generally recover our investments in cases by securing large settlements and verdicts.

A Culture Where Clients Are Family

Results are only part of what our firm offers clients. We also offer a family-like environment that may ease your pain and reduce stress at a difficult time. The Russo Firm culture includes:

• Extending compassion, patience, and respect to help alleviate emotional and mental stress after a car accident.
• Listening intently when you talk.
• Answering your questions transparently and completely.
• Always being available to you, whether through phone calls, text messages, emails, or socials.
• Ensuring a personal bond between you, your lawyer, and the rest of our team.

We are proud to serve drunk drivers victims, which shows in how we relate to our clients.

Headquarters in Delray Beach

The Russo Firm has an office on W. Atlantic Avenue in Delray Beach. This location is one of many reasons to let us lead your case. We know the city and are familiar with establishments that might over-serve drunk drivers. Additionally, our understanding of local traffic patterns and where car accidents most occur in Delray Beach allows us to thoroughly investigate and advocate for your claims. We will immediately gather evidence and file your case.

You Should Hold a Drunk Driver Accountable for Their Egregious Negligence (We Will Help)

Drunk driving impairs the motorist in several ways, slowing their reaction times, impairing their judgment, and making them more likely to engage in risky behavior. For these reasons, drunk driving always qualifies as negligence—and therefore entitles you to sue or file an insurance claim.

You should hold the drunk driver and any other liable parties responsible for the harm they have caused you. Yet, your injuries, trauma, and financial challenges may prevent you from getting the justice you deserve. Let The Russo Firm fight for you—it’s what we do for victims of drunk drivers.

Damages Often Caused by Drunk Drivers

Any car accident can cause serious injuries and even a victim’s death. Because drunk drivers can be incoherent, engage in risky behavior, and numb to others’ safety, accidents involving impaired drivers can be especially serious.

Your Delray Beach drunk driving lawyer from The Russo Firm will seek fair compensation for all types of damages in a car accident, which may include:

Pain and Suffering

Those involved in traffic accidents often suffer lingering effects, many of which qualify as pain and suffering damages. This can include:

• Post-traumatic stress disorder
• Immediate pain from injuries
• Chronic pain
• Depression
• Anxiety
• Lost quality of life
• Scarring and other types of disfigurement

The attorneys at The Russo Firm take advantage of mental health services. We will ensure you receive diagnoses for your pain and suffering, which you may not even be aware of.

Vehicle Repair Costs and Temporary Transportation Expenses

Property expenses are common in most drunk driving accident cases. Your attorney from The Russo Firm will demand fair compensation for damages, helping car accident victims recover costs associated with vehicle repairs, temporary transportation, replacement of personal items, and the replacement of a totaled vehicle,  including compensation in cases involving an uninsured motorist.

Medical Expenses

We encourage clients to get medical care after their traffic accident. Even if you received some medical attention from EMTs, you need to get thorough treatment, which may include the following:

• Imaging for injuries, including any necessary X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs
• A physical evaluation from a qualified doctor
• Medications and antibiotics
• Surgeries
• Hospital services
• Rehabilitation services

Our law firm will follow your recovery as we represent you. If necessary, we will consult medical experts to document any future medical services you’ll need.

Lost Income and Any Other Professional Damages

Drivers who are under the influence often cause injuries that keep victims out of work. This can cause:

• Lost earning power
• Lost income
• Missed chances to earn overtime compensation, bonuses, promotions, and other incentives that require someone to be working
• Lost progress within one’s professional field
• Other professional damages

We will gather all necessary information about your career and how a drunk driver has affected it. Your Delray Beach drunk driving lawyer will include all professional damages in our settlement demand letter.

Damages Caused by Disabling Injuries

Those who suffer disabling injuries in traffic accidents typically face more expenses as a consequence. Being disabled can cause the sudden, painful loss of physical and cognitive abilities. Disabled accident victims may also need a wheelchair, changes to their home, a new vehicle, and long-term rehabilitation.

The Russo Firm has helped many disabled clients secure fair (often large) financial recoveries. Let us fight for you or a disabled loved one in Delray Beach.

A Wrongful Death

The Russo Firm team offers its heartfelt condolences if you have experienced a wrongful death in your family. These are the tragic outcomes drunk driving inevitably leads to.

A Delray Beach wrongful death lawyer from our firm will learn about any loved one who has passed away. We will evaluate all funeral costs, pain and suffering, lost financial support, and other harms resulting from the fatal drunk driving accident, including any damages you can claim in a wrongful death lawsuit.

Our Drunk Driving Lawyers in Delray Beach Will Take Your Entire Case Off Your Hands

The Russo Firm has many seasoned attorneys and highly trained support staff. We are the firm to lead your case, and we will lead it from start to finish.

Every case-related responsibility will be our responsibility, including:

Securing Proof of the Driver’s Impairment

In many traffic accident cases, the most important fact is that another person caused your accident. However, it will also be relevant that the motorist was impaired because:

• Being impaired increases the likelihood that a motorist will cause an accident
• It is illegal to drive while drunk (which also indicates drunk driving is a form of negligence)
• You may be entitled to punitive damages if the motorist was drunk at the time of your accident

Punitive damages apply when someone’s conduct is beyond mere negligence. We will secure any breathalyzer test results, blood test results, police reports, legal records, and other proof of the motorist’s intoxication.

Identifying All Liable Parties (Which May Not Be Limited to the Drunk Driver)

The drunk driver involved in your accident will almost certainly be a defendant in your case. We may also find that an establishment that served the drunk driver alcohol is also liable. Depending on the cause of your accident, other parties can also be liable.

Detailing the Damages the Drunk Driver Has Caused You

We must present convincing evidence of your damages. Otherwise, we expect liable parties to refuse our settlement demands.

Some types of documentation we often use in drunk driving accident cases include:

• Medical images of injuries, such as X-rays
• Photographs of visible injuries
• Your doctors’ notes about your injuries and symptoms (including specific diagnoses)
• Medical bills
• Bank statements proving that you have lost income because of the drunk driving accident
• Bills for the repair or replacement of your vehicle

The Russo Firm will also document your pain and suffering in fine detail. We will hire a mental health professional to diagnose such conditions.

Negotiating a Settlement with Insurers or a Civil Defense Lawyer

We will grant liable parties the opportunity to pay the compensation you are entitled to. We will approach settlement negotiations with proof of negligence, documentation of your damages, and a readymade argument for a fair settlement.

Filing and Resolving Any Lawsuit You Want to Pursue

If the drunk driver, an insurance company, or any other liable party does not offer fair compensation for your damages, you may choose to file a lawsuit. Our team will file that suit, continue negotiating a settlement, and move forward with a trial if necessary.
