Common Injuries in Drunk Driving Accidents

Drunk driving accidents often result in very severe injuries due to impaired judgment and delayed reaction times. The common injuries associated with these accidents:

• Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs): The force of impact in a drunk driving accident can lead to head injuries, varying from concussions to severe traumatic brain injuries with long-term consequences.
• Spinal Cord Injuries: High-impact collisions may cause spinal cord injuries, affecting mobility and leading to a lifetime of medical challenges.
• Broken Bones and Fractures: The violent nature of drunk driving accidents can cause fractures and broken bones, necessitating extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation.
• Internal Injuries: The force exerted during a crash can cause internal injuries, affecting organs and requiring immediate medical attention.
• Emotional Trauma: Victims of drunk driving accidents often experience emotional trauma, leading to anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

What Damages Could Be Recovered in a Drunk Driving Accident Claim?

In a drunk driving accident claim, our goal is to secure compensation for various damages incurred by the victim. Potential damages may include the following:

• Medical Expenses: Compensation for present and future medical costs, including hospital stays, surgeries, medications, and rehabilitation.
• Lost Wages: Reimbursement for income lost because of the accident, including missed workdays and potential future earnings impacted by disabilities.
• Pain and Suffering: Compensation for the physical and emotional distress experienced because of the accident.
• Property Damage: Recovery for repairing or replacing damaged vehicles and personal property.
• Wrongful Death: In cases of fatal drunk driving accidents, we work tirelessly to secure compensation for the surviving family members, covering funeral expenses, loss of income, and emotional distress.

What is the Statute of Limitations for a Drunk Driving Accident Claim in Massachusetts?

In Massachusetts, there is a limited timeframe within which a drunk driving accident claim must be filed. The statute of limitations for personal injury claims, including those related to drunk driving accidents, is generally three years from the date of the incident.

Failure to file a claim within the specified time may result in your right to seek compensation forfeiture. Time is of the essence, and our legal team is ready to guide you through the process, ensuring your claim is filed within the mandated timeframe.
