Any successful personal injury claim will require you and your attorney to present quality evidence that helps prove liability and negligence. Anyone involved in an accident should also always collect the following information if they are able to do so:
• • •
Pictures of the accident scene
Eyewitness testimonials
Medical records from examinations following the accident
When it comes to drunk driving incidents, however, there may be additional forms of important evidence because of the criminal nature of the act. Those convicted of driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI) face misdemeanor or even felony charges. While these charges are brought by the arresting officer and pursued in criminal court, any such conviction can also be used as evidence in your civil case to help prove liability and negligence.
There are four unique types of evidence that can be used in drunk driving claims.
