Why Drunk Driving Accidents Are Different

Every car accident is serious, but crashes involving impaired drivers often involve particularly reckless behavior.

Whether the driver was under the influence of alcohol, prescription medication, illegal drugs, or a combination of substances, their decision to get behind the wheel can leave innocent people with life-changing injuries.

Across South Carolina, drunk driving crashes occur on major roadways including I-85, I-26, I-77, I-20, and local roads throughout Greenville County, Spartanburg County, Richland County, Charleston County, and beyond.

While a drunk driver may face criminal DUI charges, that criminal case does not compensate you for your injuries.

A separate civil claim may allow you to seek compensation for your losses.

Common Drunk Driving Accident Scenarios

As a South Carolina DUI accident lawyer, Thomas Conits represents clients injured in a wide range of impaired driving crashes.

Head-On Collisions

Head-on crashes caused by impaired drivers often result in catastrophic injuries due to the force of impact.

Rear-End Accidents

Alcohol and drugs can slow reaction times, making rear-end collisions more likely in traffic or at intersections.

T-Bone Collisions

Drivers under the influence may run red lights or stop signs, causing dangerous side-impact crashes.

Wrong-Way Driving Accidents

Wrong-way crashes frequently occur when impaired drivers enter highways or interstates traveling in the wrong direction.

Pedestrian And Bicycle Accidents

Drunk drivers often fail to recognize pedestrians, cyclists, and other vulnerable road users until it is too late.

How Liability Is Proven In A DUI Accident Case

South Carolina drivers have a legal duty to operate their vehicles safely. Driving while impaired is a serious breach of that duty.

As your DUI accident attorney, Thomas investigates every aspect of the crash and gathers evidence that may include:

• Police accident reports

• DUI arrest records

• Breathalyzer or chemical test results

• Surveillance footage

• Witness statements

• Accident reconstruction evidence

• Medical records

• Expert testimony

Evidence showing that the driver was impaired can play a significant role in establishing liability and strengthening your claim.

everything you need to know

Call 911, seek medical attention, document the scene if possible, and contact an attorney before discussing the case with insurance companies.

Yes. A criminal DUI charge and a civil injury claim are separate matters. You may still pursue compensation for your injuries.

Insurance companies often work to minimize payouts. An attorney can investigate the crash, gather evidence, negotiate with insurers, and protect your interests throughout the process.

The deadline depends on the circumstances of your case. Speak with an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.

You may still have options through uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage and other potential sources of recovery.
