If a drunk driver hits you, you’re likely facing emotional and physical trauma. Drunk driving is a crime, and drivers caught operating their vehicles while under the influence of drugs or alcohol can face serious jail time. Navigating a DUI accident claim is tricky; even if a drunk driver is responsible for an accident, this doesn’t mean they’ll be liable for all damages. Our Kansas City auto accident attorneys at Krause & Kinsman Law Firm are prepared to look at every detail of your case and hold the responsible party accountable through skillful negotiation.

Establishing that the defendant was intoxicated is pivotal to proving that they failed to exercise reasonable care and violated DUI laws. If a drunk driver killed a family member, you may be able to pursue a wrongful death claim. Let one of our expert attorneys gather the right evidence to prove fault in your car accident case and deal with difficult insurance adjusters. We are also prepared to assist you in filing a wrongful death claim against the driver responsible for the death of your loved one. Because alcohol-related car accidents often incur significant damages and expenses, it is crucial to seek guidance from an experienced professional to develop successful strategies and maximize your compensation.
