Drunk Driving Accidents
A serious personal injury or wrongful death resulting from a negligent motor vehicle accident is all the more devastating when the reckless or careless actions of the driver are compounded by the irresponsible consumption of alcohol. Hundreds of Missouri and Kansas residents die each year in drunk driving accidents, leaving families devastated and struggling to cope.
You may have encountered the term "dram shop law" before, referring to liability for a drunk-driving accident that is placed not only on the driver but also on the liquor distributors and establishments that contributed to the accident by serving alcohol to an inebriated person. At The Horn Law Firm based in Kansas City, Missouri, our drunk driving lawsuit attorneys have helped dozens of families recover compensation from the driver's insurance company after a drunk driving accident, as well as from bars, nightclubs, and other businesses that served an intoxicated person with no thought for the consequences.
Our chief goal at The Horn Law Firm during the negotiation and litigation of a personal injury lawsuit is to recover much-needed compensation for medical bills, lost wages and long-term care. In cases involving drunk driving, our legal team takes a personal interest in the long-range ramifications. In recovering full and fair compensation, we hope to discourage negligent actions by businesses and individuals that lead to tragic accidents.
