DUI-Related Car Accidents in Spokane County

Car accidents caused by drunk or drug-impaired drivers are among the most devastating and avoidable types of collisions. Alcohol impairment dramatically increases reaction time, reduces coordination, and leads to reckless decisions that put everyone on the road at risk.

Why DUI Accidents Require Immediate Legal Action

If your accident involved a suspected DUI, your attorney must act quickly to preserve crucial evidence. Our DUI accident lawyers gather:

  • Police reports and officer observations

  • Breathalyzer results and toxicology tests

  • Field sobriety test records

  • Witness statements regarding impairment

  • Traffic or surveillance footage

  • Prior DUI records if relevant and legally admissible

DUI cases often involve both a criminal case (against the impaired driver) and a civil personal injury claim (for your compensation). We monitor both to ensure no important evidence is lost and that your interests remain protected.

Your Rights After a DUI Car Accident

Victims of drunk driving accidents may be entitled to additional damages, depending on the circumstances. As your DUI accident attorney, we work to show impairment, establish negligence, and pursue full justice for your injuries.

Common Causes of Vehicle Accidents

Car accidents can happen in seconds, often due to preventable behavior. Our experienced vehicle collision lawyers handle cases involving:

Distracted Driving

Texting, calling, eating, or any form of inattention that takes a driver's focus off the road.

Driving Under the Influence

Alcohol or drugs impair judgment, slow reaction times, and significantly increase the likelihood of collisions. DUI-related accidents are handled with heightened urgency to secure critical evidence that proves impairment.

Reckless Driving

Speeding, running red lights, tailgating, or making unsafe lane changes.

Hazardous Road Conditions

Poor weather, construction zones, or unmaintained roadways that increase the risk of accidents.

If you've been injured in any of these situations, a skilled auto accident attorney can investigate your case, gather evidence, negotiate with insurance companies, and build a strong claim on your behalf.
