Damages You Can Recover After a Drunk Driving Accident in The Villages
It can be easier than you think to underestimate the damages you can recover after an accident. Our legal team works hard to protect you from a speedy yet flawed settlement. However, an offer that comes too soon after the accident may not include all medical and other ongoing costs. When our The Villages car accident attorney represents you, we ensure no valid expenses and losses are overlooked or omitted.
Recoverable Current and Future Medical Expenses
When a drunk driver causes an accident, they can be held responsible for your medical bills. These can include ambulance and emergency room fees and hospital admissions. They can also include assistive medical devices like wheelchairs and specialty beds, required medications, and surgery and physical therapy costs.
A car accident can leave trauma in its wake, including ongoing nightmares, fear of driving or riding in a car, and PTSD. In addition, medical care after a car accident can include mental and emotional therapy. These expenses, too, are recoverable.
Recoverable Accident and Injury-Related Compensation
Medical bills are the most immediate expense after a drunk driving accident. In addition to those, we also help you recover compensation for:
- Injury-related lost wages
- Disability and disfigurement
- Physical pain and suffering
- Mental and emotional anguish
- Loss of enjoyment of life
To ensure you can restore your car to its pre-accident condition, we request compensation for its repair also. In addition, we document its replacement value if declared a total loss.
Recoverable Damages for Surviving Families
The loss of a family member is always difficult. However, it can be even more stressful when their demise is sudden, unexpected, and caused by someone else’s negligence. If your family lost a loved one because of a drunk driver, we help you recover the costs of their funeral and burial.
We also hold the at-fault driver responsible for your loss of financial and household support. In addition, Florida law allows specific family members — typically the deceased person’s parents, spouse, and children — to be eligible for the loss of consortium and guidance.

Florida’s Statute of Limitations Restricts How Long You Have to Act
You have a limited time to file a lawsuit if your case cannot be resolved with an insurance settlement. Our drunk driving accident attorney ensures injured clients in The Villages comply with the statute of limitations. You generally have two years from the date the accident occurred to file your personal injury lawsuit.
If your family lost a loved one in the accident, you still have two years to file your wrongful death lawsuit. However, the date begins from the date of death. When you trust our law firm to handle your case, we ensure your lawsuit is filed within the allotted time.
We Accept Clients on a Contingency-Fee Basis
Concern over costs should never prevent a drunk driving accident victim from pursuing compensation. Our law firm will take your case on a contingency-fee basis. Here is how that benefits you:
- You pay nothing out of your pocket
- Our fee comes out of your financial award
- We cover all upfront costs and expenses
If your case is not resolved with a settlement or verdict, you will not owe us any legal fees.
The Benefits of Working With Our Drunk Driving Accident Lawyer
You do not have to take on a large insurance company and fight to recover damages. Instead, when you hire our client-focused law firm, we handle every detail of your case — big or small — and fight hard for the best outcome for you.
We will:
- Read and review records and reports
- Document the at-fault driver’s negligence
- Gather compelling evidence and documents
- Conduct a comprehensive investigation
- Canvass for photos and video footage
- Speak with interested parties on your behalf
- Provide ongoing updates on your case
We will negotiate a favorable monetary settlement and help you make a well-informed settlement decision. We will not hesitate to represent you in court if one cannot be reached.
How We Prove the Elements of Negligence Your Case Requires
You cannot merely assert that the at-fault driver, in your case, was drunk at the time of the accident. You must prove their intoxication and negligence in the following ways:
- Duty of care — the responsibility to share roads safely and abide by the rules of the road
- Breach of duty — the driver’s action in getting behind the wheel of a car while intoxicated
- Causation — the documented connection between the at-fault driver’s cause of the accident
- Damages — financial consequences you endure specifically because of the accident
We create a robust evidence file for you to prove these elements of negligence and your right to personal injury compensation.
Our Investigation Will Uncover Compelling Evidence
Car accidents are often settled out of court based on the story told by the evidence. The evidence we collect for you will include the following:
- Medical records
- Medical bills
- Employment records
- Car accident report
- Accident scene photos
- Injury photos
- Witness statements
This list is not exhaustive since every case is unique. Our team treats you like a client, not a case file, and collects evidence specific to your case.
