Hit By A Drunk Driver?

Drunk Driving Accidents

Drunk driving accidents often lead to serious injuries or even tragic deaths. While Missouri’s House Bill 1695 (effective August 28, 2010) increased criminal penalties for DUI/DWI offenders, this does not guarantee compensation for victims of such crashes.

To recover damages, you must take civil legal action against the at-fault drunk driver.

What Compensation Can You Claim?

If you’ve been injured in a drunk driving accident in Kansas City or elsewhere in Missouri, you may be entitled to recover compensation for:

Medical bills (past and future)
Lost income due to time off work
Permanent disability
Pain and suffering
Emotional distress
Punitive damages (in cases of extreme negligence)

Wrongful Death Due to a Drunk Driver

If you lost a loved one in a drunk driving crash, you may be eligible to file a wrongful death claim under Missouri Statute RSMo 537.090. The spouse or close family members may seek compensation for:

Medical care from the time of the crash until death
Funeral and burial expenses
Loss of companionship, guidance, and support
Punitive damages to punish reckless behavior
