Drunk-Driver Crashes
across Utah.
DUI crashes are among the most preventable injuries on Utah roads. The criminal case is a separate track — we focus on the civil recovery for the people who were hurt.
What we look at in a drunk-driver crashes case.
Utah's per se BAC limit (.05) is the strictest in the country, which means more drivers are technically over the limit than they realize — and more of them are at fault civilly. We evaluate criminal-case discovery and build a parallel civil claim.
We also evaluate dram-shop liability where a bar or restaurant overserved the at-fault driver. Utah's dram-shop statute is narrower than some states' — but it applies in real cases, and we know how to plead it.
Punitive damages are routinely available in DUI civil cases. We pursue them where the facts support.
- —Driver liability policy
- —Dram-shop coverage of any commercial alcohol provider
- —UM/UIM on your own policy where collection from the driver is constrained
