Drunk driving accidents are some of the most devastating crashes on Colorado roads. Victims often face life-changing injuries, overwhelming medical bills, lost income, and emotional trauma. At the Julian Bendinelli Law Firm, we hold impaired drivers accountable and fight to secure the compensation you need to heal and move forward.

Why Legal Help Matters After a Drunk Driving Accident

DUI accident cases require fast action, strong evidence, and an experienced legal team.

Proving Impairment and Negligence

Drunk driving claims require evidence such as police reports, BAC test results, and witness statements. We work to prove the at-fault driver’s impairment and connect it to your injuries and damages.

 

Navigating Civil and Criminal Proceedings

A drunk driver will face criminal charges, but that process doesn’t compensate victims. We handle your civil claim in parallel, ensuring you can recover medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

 

Maximizing Compensation Through Aggressive Advocacy

Insurance companies often try to settle DUI accident cases quickly and cheaply. We negotiate from a position of strength, backed by the evidence and our readiness to take your case to trial.

What You May Be Entitled To

If you’ve been injured by a drunk driver in Colorado, you may be entitled to damages covering both your financial losses and your pain and suffering.

Drunk Driving Accident Claim FAQs

Answers to common questions about DUI-related personal injury claims in Colorado.

1. What should I do immediately after being hit by a drunk driver in Colorado?

Call 911, get medical attention, and ensure law enforcement documents the incident. Request a copy of the police report, as it will be crucial in proving impairment and liability. Contact a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible to protect your rights.

2. Can I get compensation if the drunk driver is facing criminal charges?

Yes. Criminal charges punish the driver but do not provide compensation to victims. You can file a civil claim to recover for medical expenses, lost income, and other damages.

3. How do Colorado’s dram shop laws affect my case?

Colorado law may hold bars, restaurants, or other establishments liable if they served alcohol to a visibly intoxicated person who later caused your accident. We investigate all possible avenues for recovery.

4. What damages can I recover in a drunk driving accident claim?

Victims may recover medical costs, lost wages, rehabilitation expenses, pain and suffering, and in some cases punitive damages intended to punish reckless behavior.

5. How long do I have to file a DUI accident claim in Colorado?

Most motor vehicle accident claims must be filed within three years, but it’s best to act quickly so evidence is preserved and your case is as strong as possible.

6. Do I need a lawyer for a drunk driving accident case?

While it’s not legally required, DUI-related injury cases often involve multiple legal and insurance complexities. Having an attorney increases your chances of securing the full compensation you deserve.
