Types of Drunk Driver Accidents We Handle

At Rodriguez Law Firm, we represent victims who have suffered injuries following an accident that wasn’t your fault. When the at-fault driver is found to be legally over California blood-alcohol content (BAC) limits then the case often involves felonies as well as personal injury claims.

Our attorneys have decades of combined experience investigating complex accident scenes, working with experts, and holding negligent drivers accountable across Virginia, Maryland, Washington D.C., and Texas.

We regularly handle cases involving:

Car accidents caused by drunk drivers: holding intoxicated motorists accountable for reckless and unlawful behavior.
High-speed or head-on collisions: often involving severe or fatal injuries when impaired drivers lose control.
Rear-end and intersection crashes: caused by delayed reaction times and poor judgment from alcohol or drug use.
Hit-and-run DUI accidents: where intoxicated drivers flee the scene after causing serious harm.
Cases involving criminal charges: pursuing civil compensation alongside the driver’s arrest and prosecution.
DUI accidents involving repeat offenders: where prior convictions strengthen claims for negligence and recklessness.
Wrongful death claims: representing families who lost a loved one due to a drunk driver’s actions.
Punitive damage cases: seeking additional compensation to punish and deter egregious misconduct.
Accidents involving bars or establishments: exploring liability under dram shop or negligent serving laws.
Multi-vehicle and catastrophic injury cases: requiring coordination with law enforcement and reconstruction experts.

Injuries We Commonly See After Drunk Driver Accidents

Accidents caused by a drunk driver can lead to a wide range of injuries, with varying impacts on your day-to-day life.

At Rodriguez Law Firm, we regularly represent clients injured in drunk driving accidents, including those suffering from back injuries, broken bones, internal trauma, whiplash, sprains, torn ligaments, and emotional distress. In more severe cases, we’ve helped victims facing long-term disability, traumatic brain injuries, permanent scarring, burns, spinal cord damage, and the tragic loss of a loved one in a wrongful death.

IMPORTANT: The success of your case depends on proving you suffered injuries. As our founder Dagoberto Rodriguez explains in this Instagram video, you MUST have records of medical treatment or an evaluation right after the accident happened

Once you’ve received an evaluation, you can call Rodriguez Law Firm to continue your treatment—at no cost—while we work on your compensation claim.

How Much Compensation Can You Claim?

It depends. The main factors are the severity of your injuries, the at-fault party’s financial status, and the limits of relevant insurance policies. If the at-fault driver was employed by a company, then the insurance policy could be higher than normal—in one of our case results, for example, Rodriguez Law Firm secured a €1 million claim for a client.

But it’s important to understand how personal injury claims work. During an interview on the Rodriguez Law Firm YouTube channel, the owner of 57 Insurance Agency, Manuel Diaz, explained how an insurance payout is supposed to help a vehicle accident victim “return to the same or a similar state” as before the accident.

This means you get compensation that is equivalent to:

The costs of your medical treatment
The costs of your lost wages
Multiplying these by the intensity of your emotional suffering
The future costs of these three elements

In the case of the $1 million payout, the client was the family member of a victim who tragically lost their life following an automobile accident.

How Much Are Rodriguez Law Firm’s Legal Fees?

In the United States the contingency fee for a DUI accident injury is usually 33-40% of your total claim. But unfortunately, some attorneys will charge you hidden fees on top of the contingency fee—without making this clear.

We don’t believe that’s fair.

At Rodriguez Law Firm, your agreement is simple and transparent: no added expenses, no hidden charges, no last-minute surprises. This will be clearly stated in the first clause of the contract you sign when you hire one of our lawyers to represent you.
