Orlando Drunk Driver Accident Lawyer

Drunk driving is one of the most reckless and preventable causes of serious car accidents in Florida. When an impaired driver gets behind the wheel, innocent lives are put at risk. If you or a loved one were injured by an intoxicated motorist, an experienced Orlando drunk driver accident victim lawyer at Spencer Morgan Law can help you pursue justice and recover the compensation you deserve for your injuries, losses, and pain.

Understanding Drunk Driving Accidents in Orlando

Driving under the influence (DUI) is illegal in Florida, yet thousands of accidents each year involve impaired drivers. Alcohol and drugs impair judgment, slow reaction time, and reduce coordination—all of which can lead to devastating collisions. Spencer Morgan Law holds drunk drivers accountable and helps victims rebuild their lives after a crash caused by negligence and criminal misconduct.

Common Types of Drunk Driving Accidents

• Head-on collisions caused by wrong-way driving
• Rear-end crashes at red lights or intersections
• Side-impact or T-bone accidents
• Pedestrian or cyclist impacts
• High-speed freeway crashes on I-4 or SR 408

These accidents often cause severe or even fatal injuries because impaired drivers are unable to react in time to avoid impact.

Steps to Take After a Drunk Driving Accident

1. Call 911 and report the suspected drunk driver immediately.
2. Seek medical treatment, even if injuries seem minor.
3. Obtain a copy of the police report and note any DUI charges.
4. Take photos of the scene, vehicles, and your injuries.
5. Avoid speaking to the other driver’s insurance company without counsel.
6. Contact Spencer Morgan Law for a free consultation to discuss your claim.

Common Injuries in Drunk Driving Collisions

Drunk driving crashes often result in high-impact injuries that can change a victim’s life forever. Common injuries include:

• Traumatic brain injuries
• Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
• Internal organ damage
• Broken bones and disfigurement
• Emotional trauma and PTSD

Our firm works closely with medical professionals and accident reconstruction experts to build a strong case that reflects the full extent of your injuries and suffering.

Compensation for Drunk Driving Victims

Victims of drunk driving accidents may be entitled to compensation for:

• Medical expenses and future treatment
• Lost income and loss of earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Property damage
• Punitive damages (to punish gross negligence)

Spencer Morgan Law fights for every dollar you are owed and ensures insurance companies and negligent drivers are held fully accountable.

How Spencer Morgan Law Can Help

Drunk driving accidents are both criminal and civil matters. While the state prosecutes the driver, victims must file their own civil claim to recover financial damages. Spencer Morgan Law handles these claims with precision and persistence, coordinating with law enforcement, securing evidence such as BAC results, and negotiating aggressively with insurers. You will never pay any legal fees unless we recover compensation for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I still sue if the drunk driver was arrested?

Yes. A criminal DUI case is separate from your civil claim for compensation. You can pursue financial recovery even if the driver faces criminal charges.

What if the drunk driver doesn’t have insurance?

We can explore other sources of compensation, including your uninsured motorist coverage or third-party liability claims.

Can I sue a bar or restaurant that overserved the driver?

Possibly. Under Florida’s “Dram Shop” law, establishments that knowingly serve alcohol to a visibly intoxicated person or a minor can be held liable for resulting damages.

How long do I have to file a claim?

In Florida, personal injury and wrongful death claims must generally be filed within two years of the accident.

Can family members of a fatal crash victim recover compensation?

Yes. Surviving family members can file a wrongful death claim to seek justice and financial support for their loss.
