Welcome to our DUI Accident Page. My staff and I have gathered a wealth of information concerning accidents involving a DUI driver, including what to do if you are involved in an automobile accident, what Florida Laws apply to auto accidents and driving under the influence (DUI), and what special factors should be considered in an accident involving a DUI driver.

All auto accidents are traumatic; even more so when they involved a DUI driver. If a driver under the influence causes an accident, he is said to have engaged in reckless conduct. For that reason, there may be additional punitive damages that may be recovered on behalf of injured parties. Furthermore, the victim may have compensation made available to him through the criminal courts or a state funded victims’ fund. It is important to consult with an attorney experienced in handling DUI Accidents as accepting one form of compensation may preclude you from be awarded another.

The links on the left side of this page represent several frequently asked questions, as well as points of interest concerning accidents involving DUI drivers. The information was compiled solely to provide you with some important tools to help guide you throughout this trying process.

I sincerely hope that you find this information helpful. If you have any questions concerning what to do after an auto accident, or what options are available to you, please call Dan Newlin & Partners at (407) 888-8000 anytime for answers, information and/or a free consultation.
