Drunk driving accidents are entirely preventable, yet they continue to cause devastating injuries and fatalities in our community. If you or a loved one has been harmed by an impaired driver in Anderson, Belton, or anywhere in Anderson County, you have the right to seek justice and compensation.
At Ted Law Firm, we stand up for victims of drunk driving accidents. Our experienced attorneys are committed to holding negligent drivers accountable and securing the compensation you deserve for your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Understanding Drunk Driving Accidents
In South Carolina, driving with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or higher is illegal. However, even lower levels of impairment can lead to serious accidents. Drunk drivers often exhibit:
- Delayed reaction times
- Poor judgment and decision-making
- Reduced coordination
- Inability to maintain lane position
These impairments significantly increase the risk of collisions, endangering everyone on the road.
Common Injuries in Drunk Driving Accidents
Victims of drunk driving accidents may suffer a range of injuries, including:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries
- Broken bones and fractures
- Internal organ damage
- Whiplash and soft tissue injuries
- Emotional trauma and psychological distress
Our legal team works closely with medical professionals to fully assess the extent of your injuries and the impact on your life.
Seeking Compensation for Your Losses
If you’ve been injured by a drunk driver, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical expenses (current and future)
- Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
- Rehabilitation and therapy costs
- Punitive damages (in cases of gross negligence)
We meticulously evaluate all aspects of your case to ensure you receive the maximum compensation possible.
Holding Drunk Drivers Accountable
In addition to pursuing compensation, our firm is dedicated to holding drunk drivers accountable for their actions. This may involve:
- Investigating the accident scene
