More than 10,000 lives are lost in the U.S. every year due to drunk driving accidents.

For these families, these accidents cause pain that can’t be put into words.

At Seay/Felton LLC Trial Lawyers, we empathize with that pain. We do everything in our power to help drunk driving accident victims collect the compensation they deserve. If you or a loved one is injured in a drunk driving accident in Washington, D.C., contact our law firm as soon as possible for a free consultation.

Serious Drunk Driving Accident Injuries

One reason drunk driving accidents are so deadly is that drunk drivers rarely take action to minimize the consequences of a crash. In a situation where a sober driver might swerve or hit the brakes, a drunk driver often does nothing.

This frequently results in catastrophic injuries. Even if you survive the accident, you may spend weeks or months in the hospital. Common severe injuries from a drunk driving accident include:

• Broken or shattered bones
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Dismemberment or required amputation
• Internal bleeding
• Organ damage
• Paralysis or nerve injuries
• Permanent scarring

These injuries don’t just take weeks, months, or even years to recover from. They are also very painful and often cause extreme emotional and mental trauma.

Dealing With the Insurance Company After an Accident

After an accident, drivers are typically trained to contact their insurance company immediately. While this might seem like the right step following a drunk driving accident, it is better to contact a lawyer first, especially after suffering catastrophic injuries.

Recovering from your injuries may require hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars. Without legal representation, the insurance company is unlikely to offer you anything close to what you need.

Consult with one of our attorneys and let us handle the insurance companies. If they contact you directly, simply refer them to our team.

The Importance of Seeking Medical Care

Medical care in the U.S., particularly in Washington, D.C., can be incredibly expensive. Just one night in the hospital can cost over $10,000. This often leads people to hesitate when accepting medical care. However, after a drunk driving accident, you cannot afford to delay treatment.

Agree to all tests and treatments your doctors recommend. If you refuse medical care after a catastrophic injury, the insurance company may argue that your injuries aren’t as severe as you claim. This could reduce the compensation you receive.

At Seay/Felton LLC Trial Lawyers, we fight to get you every dollar you deserve. Don’t risk damaging your case by refusing necessary medical care.

Compensation in a Drunk Driving Accident

One of the most common questions we receive is, “What type of compensation can I get from a drunk driving accident?”

There are two main types of compensation we typically pursue for our clients:

Economic damages: Compensation for all out-of-pocket expenses and losses you have suffered or will suffer. This includes:

• Medical bills
• Lost wages
• Expenses for services needed while injured, like child care or transportation
• Physical, mental, or occupational therapy

Non-economic damages: Compensation for intangible losses that don’t have a direct monetary value but significantly impact the victim’s life. Non-economic damages can cover:

• Pain and Suffering
• Emotional Distress
• Loss of Enjoyment of Life
• Loss of Consortium

Victims of drunk driving accidents may be entitled to both economic and non-economic damages to cover their financial losses and the emotional impact of the accident. These forms of compensation help ensure that victims can recover both physically and emotionally while addressing the full extent of their injuries and losses.
