// GET THE COMPENSATION YOU DESERVE
Drunk driving kills approximately one thousand people in Florida every year. Over 7,500 individuals –most of them younger than 35 – have died in less than ten years in our state due to drunk driving.
Contrary to popular belief, drinking coffee or taking a cold shower doesn’t reduce the amount of time your body needs to filter alcohol and effectively sober drinkers up. There’s no magic cure to help drunk drivers drive better under the influence.
Drunk driving isn’t like other car crash causes where people can make honest mistakes, like failing to notice a car in their blind spot. Drunk driving is a choice to recklessly endanger the lives of others. Choosing to violate state law and drive drunk instead of ordering a taxi or an Uber can result in a costly DUI that, at best, can result in your driving privileges being revoked if you’re caught. The all-too-common worst-case scenario results in serious injuries and deaths.
Victims who survive Boca Raton car crashes caused by drunk drivers may suffer from severe trauma, ranging from fractures and internal injuries to head and spinal cord damage that can impact their independence and permanently worsen their quality of life.
Even relatively minor car crash injuries can force innocent motorists and passengers to face extensive and expensive medical treatment as a result of someone else’s recklessness. In addition to those economic costs, being injured in a drunk driving crash can take a cognitive toll, including the trauma and post-traumatic stress victims can endure for months and years afterward.
Coping with the aftermath of a drunk driving accident can be an uphill battle, and the therapy to address the emotional damage should be fully paid for by the at-fault driver, in addition to compensation for the physical and property damage they caused.
At Kanner & Pintaluga, our personal injury lawyers will zealously pursue maximum compensation on your behalf so you can recover with peace of mind without having to worry about paying out-of-pocket for damages caused by someone who drove with a reckless and criminal disregard for you and other drivers on the road.

In a drunk driving accident, liability should clearly and decidedly fall on the drunk driver. Even if you were partially at fault for the accident, as long as your attributed percentage of fault is below 50 percent, you can still receive compensation from the other driver. However, even in straightforward cases such as these, insurance companies may not operate in your best interests.
At the end of the day, insurance is a business, and companies will work hard to protect their bottom line. Insurance adjusters often minimize payouts to loyal policyholders or even deny their claim altogether by disputing liability or downplaying the extent of the victim’s injuries.
Even your own personal injury protection (PIP) insurance can leave you wanting. PIP insurance covers up to 60 percent of lost wages and 80 percent of medical bills (it does not include any compensation for emotional pain and suffering) up to your PIP limit, which is often only $10,000. Even if your claim is honored, your PIP policy will only pay up to the limit, even if that paltry amount has hardly scratched the surface of your medical expenses.
This system can leave drunk drivers protected while victims struggle to pay for necessary medical care without the compensation they rightfully deserve. Many people involved in Boca Raton drunk driving accidents are forced to face the daunting prospect of navigating the complex legal process to secure what they’re owed – all while potentially struggling with a new disability or cognitive challenges.
