Drunk Driving Accidents – Seeking Justice for the Victims of Impaired

Drunk driving accidents are among the most preventable tragedies on the road—and yet, they remain devastatingly common. At Paucek & Lage Law Firm, we stand beside victims of impaired drivers with unwavering commitment. If you or a loved one has been injured due to someone else's reckless decision to drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs, you deserve justice, closure, and compensation. We’re here to help you get it. Driving while intoxicated is not only illegal—it’s a gross act of negligence that endangers everyone on the road. Drunk driving accidents often lead to catastrophic injuries: brain trauma, spinal damage, broken bones, paralysis, and, far too often, fatal consequences. Victims are left not only with physical scars but with emotional and financial burdens that can last a lifetime. Our mission is to pursue justice relentlessly for those harmed by these reckless acts. Our experienced attorneys begin by thoroughly investigating your case. We obtain critical evidence such as blood alcohol content (BAC) test results, field sobriety test reports, dashcam or surveillance footage, and witness statements. We may also bring in expert accident reconstructionists or toxicologists when needed. This detailed approach allows us to present a clear, compelling case that proves fault and demonstrates the full extent of your losses. In New York, victims of drunk driving accidents may be entitled to substantial compensation. This includes coverage for current and future medical expenses, lost income, reduced earning capacity, rehabilitation costs, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and punitive damages—when applicable. Our legal team is skilled at valuing claims fairly and negotiating assertively to prevent lowball settlements from insurers. And if the at-fault driver is uninsured or underinsured, we help you explore every legal option for financial recovery. We understand that pursuing a legal case after an accident involving a drunk driver can feel overwhelming, especially while dealing with trauma or grief. That’s why Paucek & Lage takes a victim-centered approach. We’ll manage all the legal complexities so you can focus on healing. You’ll never feel rushed or left in the dark—we believe in full transparency and clear, compassionate communication throughout your case. Perhaps most importantly, we pursue accountability not just to recover damages—but to send a message. Drunk drivers must be held responsible for the lives they damage. By fighting for full justice, we aim to prevent future harm and protect others in our community. If you or someone you love was injured by an impaired driver, contact Paucek & Lage today for a free consultation. We’ll review your case, explain your options, and take action immediately to protect your rights. There’s no cost to speak with us—and no fee unless we win.
