##### Car Accidents

## Fighting for a Fair Recovery for Victims of Drunk Driving Accidents

Drunk driving is a serious problem in the United States, and it claims thousands of lives each year. Over 5,100 drunk driving motor vehicle accidents[occurred in Florida](https://www.flhsmv.gov/traffic-crash-reports/crash-dashboard/) in 2023. Of those crashes, 355 were fatal, with 3,090 ending in injuries for the passengers involved.

No one should have to suffer because of someone else’s negligence. If you have been injured in a drunk driving accident, contact a [car accident attorney](https://www.lawfran.com/car-accident-lawyers/) at The Fran Haasch Law Group today for a [free consultation](https://www.lawfran.com/contact-us/). We are committed to providing drunk driving accident victims with the support they need. You do not have to go through this alone – let us help you get the [compensation you deserve](https://www.lawfran.com/car-accident-lawyers/car-accident-compensation-in-florida/).

## Drunk Driving Laws in Florida

Under Florida law, it is illegal to drive with a blood alcohol content level (BAC) of .08% or higher. When an intoxicated driver is pulled over and suspected of drunk driving, they will be asked to submit their breath, blood, or urine to a chemical test.

### Penalties for Drunk Driving

Drunk drivers[face various penalties](https://www.flhsmv.gov/driver-licenses-id-cards/education-courses/dui-and-iid/florida-dui-administrative-suspension-laws/). These penalties can include jail time, fines, and the suspension of their driver’s license.

### Florida’s Dram Shop Law

Under [Florida’s dram shop law](https://www.lawfran.com/blog/2022/05/can-party-hosts-be-held-liable-for-drunk-driving-accidents-under-florida-dram-shop-laws/), a person who sells or supplies a person of drinking age is not liable for injuries or damages caused by a drunk driving accident. The exception to this law is if a person or business willfully and unlawfully sells or supplies alcoholic beverages to a minor or someone with alcohol addiction.

### The Statute of Limitations for a Florida Drunk Driving Accident

The [statute of limitations](https://www.lawfran.com/florida-personal-injury-statute-of-limitations/) is the time period in which you have to [file a lawsuit](https://www.lawfran.com/filing-a-personal-injury-claim/). In Florida, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases is [two years from the accident date](https://www.lawfran.com/car-accident-lawyers/how-long-after-an-accident-can-you-file-a-claim-in-florida/). This means that if you do not file a lawsuit within two years of the date of the accident, you will be barred from doing so.

### Statute of Limitations for Wrongful Death Drunk Driving Crashes

If someone died due to the accident, the lawsuit must be filed within two years. Instead of filing from the date of the accident, you must file from the person’s death.

## Protect Yourself from Florida Drunk Drivers

You can do a few things to [protect yourself](https://www.lawfran.com/car-accident-lawyers/how-to-avoid-car-accidents/) from a drunk driving crash.

- First, always be aware of your surroundings and look for signs of intoxicated drivers.

- Second, [always wear your seatbelt](https://www.lawfran.com/car-accident-lawyers/common-seat-belt-myths-and-facts/) and make sure your passengers are buckled up as well. Seatbelts can save lives, and they could help you avoid serious injuries in the event of an accident.

- Third, if you are going to be drinking, always designate a sober driver. Never get behind the wheel if you have been drinking.

### Recognizing a Florida Drunk Driver

There are a few signs that can help you recognize a drunk driver:

- Pay attention to drivers who are swerving, speeding, or driving erratically.

- Be on the lookout for drivers making wide turns or braking suddenly.

- Look for drivers who are having trouble staying in their lane.

If you see any of these signs, stay away from the driver and call 911.

## Compensation after a DUI accident

There are a few [different types](https://www.lawfran.com/what-types-of-damages-can-i-recover-in-a-personal-injury-claim-in-florida/) of compensation that you may be entitled to after a drunk driving accident.

- [Medical Expenses](https://www.lawfran.com/blog/2022/05/im-receiving-medical-bills-in-the-mail-what-should-i-do-with-them/) – This can include hospital bills, doctor’s visits, physical therapy, and more.

- [Lost wages](https://www.lawfran.com/blog/2022/05/how-do-i-get-reimbursed-for-lost-wages-and-medical-expenses-after-an-auto-accident/) – If you missed work due to your injuries, you can recover any past and future lost earnings.

- Pain and Suffering – This non-economic damage can include emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and more.

### Punitive Damages in a Drunk Driving Car Accident

Punitive damages are designed to punish the drunk driver and deter others from driving while intoxicated. To recover punitive damages, you will need to prove that the drunk driver acted with gross negligence or willful disregard for the safety of others.

If you have been involved in a drunk driving accident, it is important to speak with an experienced drunk driving accident lawyer as soon as possible to discuss your rights and options.
