Drunk Driving Accident Lawyers In Toledo
Rage. Sadness. Uncertainty. Confusion. These are all common feelings for people suffering from the aftermath of any car accident, but a drunk driving accident is different. The pain and injuries you suffer after an accident with an impaired driver are magnified by the other driver’s inexcusable irresponsibility. And that irresponsibility may go further than the driver.

As drunk driving accident lawyers, we are intimately familiar with Ohio’s court system, and we know how to take your case as far as necessary to get the compensation you deserve. We will be as aggressive as needed to hold the driver – and whoever served them – responsible for your pain.
Ohio Dramshop Liability Laws And Your Injury
In a drunk driving accident, you will be able to pursue the driver for damages, such as those for your medical care and physical rehab as well as any pain and suffering and psychological damage. However, the driver of the other car is not the only one who is responsible for the accident.
Ohio law states that a restaurant, bar or any venue with a liquor license may be held liable if they sold alcohol to a “noticeably intoxicated person” or a minor. This means that if the driver was served while slurring their words, visibly stumbling or otherwise exhibiting obvious intoxication signs, that venue may be pursued for compensation.
