Drunk Driving Accidents

Reckless choices have consequences. We pursue punitive damages and full compensation.

Drunk driving is not an accident. It is a conscious decision to endanger every person on the road. If you or a loved one has been injured by a drunk driver, you need an attorney who will pursue every avenue of recovery, including punitive damages.

Attorney Michael L. Chambers, Jr. and his team conduct thorough evidence gathering, including blood alcohol test results, crash reconstruction, witness statements, and surveillance footage. We coordinate your medical care, handle all insurer communications, and fight for the full compensation you deserve.

How we help

These cases are unique because the at-fault driver made a conscious choice to drink and drive, which opens the door to punitive damages in addition to standard compensation.

We investigate thoroughly: BAC tests, police reports, video evidence, and witness statements. We consult experts and push for full compensation including both economic and punitive damages. DUI charges and civil injury claims run on separate tracks but reinforce each other. We navigate both.

What you can recover

Economic damages: medical bills, lost income, rehabilitation costs, vehicle repair or replacement.

Non-economic damages: pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life.

Punitive damages: designed specifically to punish the drunk driver and deter others. Available because drunk driving is a conscious decision, not a moment of inattention.

I just wanted to say as difficult of a client as I was, Lawyer Chambers did not give up on me nor did he give up on my case! He stayed constant communication and providing me with updates.

Case not taken

Not only was my PI case handled with complete diligence and integrity with stellar results but Mr. Chambers Jr at the end of my case personally delivered my check to me when I was unable to make it to his office.

PI, check delivered in person

Mr. Chambers is hands down the BEST OF THE BEST!!! I was being sued for thousands of dollars. I called every attorney office in my area and NOONE assisted me like they did here. When I called Michel L. Chambers's office, EVERYONE I spoke to was kind, helpful and understanding. They took my issue very seriously and made it top priority to assist me.

Pollito
Being sued, only office that helped

I wholeheartedly recommend my lawyer Mr. Chambers to anyone seeking legal representation for Medical Malpractice or Personal injury cases. His exceptional legal expertise, unwavering dedication, and genuine compassion set apart from the rest. Thanks to his remarkable efforts, I received a settlement that not only provided much-needed financial relief but also gave me a renewed sense of hope for the future.

Moya Spence
Medical malpractice

Attorney Chambers was excellent! I had an unfortunate situation where I was rear-ended and it looked like I was going to have to cover my passenger's medical bills. Not only did I not have to cover the medical bills, I got my medical expenses and auto repair covered. The insurance companies were giving me a hard time and attorney Chambers told me he would handle it. He did.

Mr. Chambers was very professional and very informative. He is someone I would highly recommend for your legal services. Mr. Chambers went above and beyond to get the best possible results for me. Just genuinely cares about his clients as individuals and this is important when one feels lost in the legal system.
