Drunk Driving Accidents

Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Drunk Driving Accident Attorneys

Injuries resulting from a drunk driving accident can be physical and emotional. Physical injuries can cause injured people to lose time from work and accumulate medical bills. Emotional or psychological damage often comes in the form of anger toward the person who drove while under drug or alcohol impairment. At Kleinpeter & Schwartzberg, LLC, we offer a range of services that address your legal, physical, and psychological concerns.

We have substantial toxicological experience, allowing us to accurately analyze toxicological testing regarding the amount of alcohol or drugs in a person's system. If you have been injured by the negligence of another person in a drunk driving accident, contact us to arrange a free consultation.

Drunk driving accidents can involve criminal charges against the drunk driver, in addition to the civil matter of your personal injury claim. In claims involving a drunk driving accident, punitive damages are allowed against the negligent driver. Our firm offers compassionate and effective representation to people who are catastrophically injured by drunk drivers. We also help family members who have lost a loved one through a fatal accident caused by a drunk driver.

Psychological Impact of Being Injured in a Drunk Driving Accident

Drug and alcohol impairment slows reaction time, decreases the ability to make safe driving decisions, and ultimately can result in injuries to other people. Our firm has resources to refer people to appropriate counselors in an effort to address the anger and other psychological issues  that result from these accidents.
