Drunk Drivers

Nebraska Drunk Driving Accident Lawyer

If you are injured in an accident caused by a drunk driver or a driver you suspect was drunk, you may think you have a slam-dunk case of liability against the drunk driver. However, these cases require strong advocacy to protect your rights to compensation.

There are 100 percentage points of liability in any accident. You'd think that insurance companies would lie down and admit liability in a drunk driver accident, but in many cases, the opposite is true. Often, the insurance company will put the bull's eye on the victim.

First, the insurance company will try to reduce your damages by alleging that you have some percentage of fault for the accident. If fault can't be raised, the insurance company may scrutinize your past medical care and history and allege that your injuries were pre-existing.

At Kelley & Lehan, we are experienced in helping victims of drunk drivers. We are aware that drunk drivers often have no insurance or not enough insurance, so we will immediately notify your own insurance company about the possibility for a UM/UIM coverage claim.

Drunk drivers may go to court as the result of a DUI charge. Our lawyers can obtain those court records to help prove liability in your case. We may also be able to seek restitution as a part of the criminal DUI charges.

We also represent family members who have lost loved ones in fatal accidents caused by drunk drivers.
