The personal injury attorney at The Lance Firm exclusively limits his legal practice to representing accident and injury victims throughout Salt Lake City, the Wasatch Front and all of Utah. We fight everyday to help DUI / DWI / drunk driver crash victims recover damages for all of their losses including past, ongoing, and future difficulties. Unlike many other personal injury law firms and attorneys, we NEVER represent the drunk driver or their insurance companies in either civil or criminal court.

Whenever someone is injured in an accident, they are a victim. While true in all personal injury cases, this is even more so in the cases of people injured in drunk driver accidents (Driving Under the Influence "DUI" / Driving While Intoxicated "DWI"). Most traffic accidents occur because someone was negligent and because someone made a simple mistake while driving. Not so in DUI / DWI / drunk driver accidents.

In the case of DUI / DWI / drunk driver accidents, someone made a conscious decision. Someone decided to become intoxicated, they decided to ignore the rest of the public’s safety and they decided to drive a vehicle while drunk. Like most of the public, our firm believes that these DUI / DWI / drunk driver should be treated different than others that cause accidents through negligence alone. Thankfully, the law agrees.

Tragically, every 33 minutes, someone is killed in a DUI / DWI drunk driver crash. Information like this shows how prevalent DUI's are in today’s society. Here are more facts about DUI / DWI / drunk driver Accidents:

• The economic cost of DUI / DWI / drunk driver crashes exceeds $45 Billion per year (based on 1994 figures).
• 3 in every 10 Americans will be involved in a DUI / DWI / drunk driver crash at some time in their lives. About one-third of all DUI / DWI / drunk drivers are repeat offenders.

• Over one-third of all deaths for people ages 15-20 years old, result from Motor Vehicle crashes (Vital Statistics Mortality Data-1997, CDC)
• In 1998, over one third of motor vehicle fatalities involved alcohol.

An intoxicant usually refers to alcohol, but it ultimately means anything that can impair someone’s ability to drive such as prescription drugs, illegal drugs, or even over-the-counter medications.  We have encountered all of these intoxicants in our prior cases and know how to deal with them.

If you are the victim injured in a DUI / DWI / drunk driver accident you have rights. You have rights in both the criminal courts as well as the civil courts.
