my name is attorney Bryant Fitz and I've been helping injured individuals get the most compensation and the best medical care when injured by somebody else we get calls weekly about people that are involved in a drunk driving accident here's the reason why nearly 30 percent of all vehicle accidents are caused by somebody who's been drinking or they're under the influence so then the question is this person was drunk and they hit me how do I get compensated for my car damage and from my personal injuries and my pain and suffering well typically you would look to the drunk driver's insurance policy to compensate you you would file a claim with them and you would get your car repaired submit receipts and you would go to the doctor and submit your medical bills and they would try to compensate you if you do it that way without a lawyer you're probably leaving uh probably 50 cents on the Dollar on the table you're leaving a lot of money on the table normally a lawyer can add tremendous value to a claim like that but here's the catch a lot of drunk drivers don't have Auto Insurance so what do you do next typically your own auto policy will have a under or uninsured motorist coverage which is designed to protect you if you're hit by some of the 40 to 50 percent of the people out on the road today that don't have auto insurance so if you're hit by a drunk driver that doesn't have auto insurance you can use your own policy to get compensated for your injuries now the next question is should I handle my uninsured motorist claim on my own or should I hire a lawyer I would always recommend hiring a lawyer typically lawyers can earn their fee and get you more money than you would have gotten after paying the lawyer than you would had you done it on your own so if you're in the unfortunate situation where you're hit by a drunk driver give us a call at 1-800-99 fits for a confidential consultation and we can explain to you your rights
