Richmond Drunk Driving Accident Lawyer Holding Reckless Drivers Accountable

Justice for Drunk Driving Accident Victims

Drunk driving accidents are preventable and devastating. When someone chooses to drink and drive, they put every other person on the road at risk. Blank & Marcus is committed to fighting for victims of DUI crashes throughout Richmond and Central Virginia, ensuring justice is served both legally and financially.

While the state may prosecute the drunk driver for DUI, that criminal case does nothing to pay for the victim’s injuries, lost wages, or medical bills. A civil claim is necessary to recover damages. Our team builds strong civil cases and uses evidence from criminal proceedings, such as breathalyzer results or a DUI conviction, to strengthen our client’s position.

Victims may be entitled to medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and property damage. In Virginia, punitive damages are also possible if the drunk driver’s blood alcohol content was .15 or higher or if their conduct was particularly reckless.

Our Approach to DUI Injury Cases

Blank & Marcus works quickly to collect police reports, witness statements, and medical records, as well as to coordinate with prosecutors when criminal charges are involved. We push back against insurers that try to minimize payouts, ensuring our clients recover the full compensation they deserve.

Supporting Families After Tragedy

Sadly, DUI crashes often lead to fatalities. In these cases, we represent surviving family members in wrongful death lawsuits. Our firm combines aggressive advocacy with compassion, guiding families through one of the hardest moments of their lives.
