Every instance of negligence demands a fair outcome for the victim. That said, drunk driving is a particularly egregious form of negligence that must never be downplayed because:

• Drunk driving is a fatal threat to Americans’ lives, with about 37 people passing away daily in collisions related to drunk driving.
• There is widespread awareness about how dangerous drunk driving is, which means there is no excuse for engaging in the act.
• There are many affordable options for avoiding drunk driving, including rideshare services.
• Intoxication can be dangerous in many circumstances but is especially hazardous when the intoxicated individual is operating a multi-ton vehicle that can travel at high speeds.
• Intoxication makes motorists exceedingly likely to cause an accident, as they can be more likely to engage in risky behavior, slow to react to changing conditions, and a general hazard to others.

It’s also worth noting again that driving under the influence of alcohol is illegal in Arizona. This alone indicates that anyone who drives while drunk (or under the influence of other impairing substances) is in the wrong.

Negligence means taking unreasonable action or unreasonably failing to take certain action. While disputes over what constitutes negligence can arise, few will ever argue that drunk driving is a reasonable behavior. Though impaired is obviously negligence, you still must prove the legal elements for a successful claim.

The attorneys at Big Chad Law injury and accident lawyers often prove that drunk drivers are negligent by:

• Stating that the drunk driver owed you (or your loved one) a duty of care: Every motorist has a duty of care, and that duty compels them not to drive while unfit to do so.
• Proving how the drunk driver breached their duty of care: This, in short, will mean proving their intoxication at the time the collision occurred.
• Establishing that the driver’s intoxication contributed to your accident: We may just need to show that the motorist caused your car accident, even if it’s not definitive that their intoxication was the direct cause. In many cases, though, it’s apparent that the driver’s diminished state increased the chances of a crash.
• Proving the harm you’ve suffered because of the drunk driver: We will furnish documentation of your economic and non-economic damages, including but not limited to medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering.

We may also determine other negligent parties besides the impaired motorist who, therefore, owe you compensation. Such parties can include:

• An establishment that served the driver too much alcohol
• An employer whose employee drove drunk while working (or to or from work)
• Any other parties who contributed directly to the accident or have financial responsibility for the drunk driver’s actions

Let the team at Big Chad Law Injury & Accident Lawyers worry about these legal issues. We know how to identify and document negligence, and we know how to get justice when a drunk driver upends a victim’s life without warning or concern.

Attorney Chad Schaub, our firm’s namesake, is a sixth-generation Arizonan. Many of our attorneys and support staff are also natives of The Grand Canyon State. These deep roots in the Arizona sand means:

Often, law enforcement’s investigation of a drunk driving accident is relevant to our civil case. We will reach out to law enforcement to:

• See if they have identified the drunk driver (in the case they left the accident scene)
• Gather identifying information about the drunk driver
• Provide any relevant information we have uncovered during our own investigation
• Identify any evidence, like breathalyzer test results, that may be relevant to our case

Our attorneys do everything in our power to strengthen clients’ cases, including reaching out immediately to Mesa PD or any other involved agency.

Our lawyers will bring an unrivaled urgency to your case, in part because we need to secure evidence of the drunk driver’s negligence. We will seek:

• Any admission by the driver that they were intoxicated
• Breathalyzer test results
• Video of the driver taking a field sobriety test
• A police report
• Video of the accident
• Eyewitness accounts of the accident

Several other forms of evidence may help us build a winning case, and we will gather that evidence quickly.

We answer the central question: How did the drunk driver in Mesa harm you?

Your lawyer may answer this question with several forms of documentation, including:

• Medical records, including images of your personal injuries, bills, and your doctors’ precise diagnoses of your injuries
• Bills for vehicle repairs, ridesharing services (or a rental vehicle), and replacement of damaged personal items
• A mental health service provider’s diagnosis of any post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, and other pain and suffering you endure

Many people injured by drunk drivers need time to heal. This can cause you to lose income, and we will obtain any financial records that document that loss of income.

Drunk drivers often cause catastrophic harm. They are often disoriented, which can cause high-speed, high-impact accidents that result in:

• Pain and suffering
• The cost of counseling and other mental health services
• Medical costs
• Rehabilitation-related costs
• Property repairs (and, potentially, replacement of a totaled vehicle)
• Lost income
• Diminished earning capacity

Big Chad Law Injury & Accident Lawyers know the cost of disabling injuries, which is typically higher than injuries that heal. We also know the high cost of wrongful deaths, so let us represent you in Mesa.
