The Sobering Reality of Drunk Driving in Hendry County
Drunk driving remains a serious problem in Hendry County and throughout Florida. Despite strict laws and public awareness campaigns, intoxicated drivers continue to put innocent lives at risk on our roads. The impact of drunk driving accidents includes:
- Severe injuries or fatalities
- Long-term medical complications
- Emotional and psychological trauma
- Financial hardship due to medical bills and lost wages
- Damage to personal property
The criminal laws of Florida will punish convicted drunk drivers, but victims also deserve compensation. Our Hendry County personal injury lawyers can help you get it through an insurance claim or a lawsuit against the driver and their insurers. Drunk driving is a clear sign of negligence.
To win an accident claim, we must show that whoever harmed you committed a negligent or deliberate act that harmed you. A drunk driver could do either easily. By default, an intoxicated person does not act reasonably, and acting unreasonably is an important part of showing negligence.

Important Laws to Know From Our Hendry County Drunk Driving Accident Lawyers
If a drunk driver in Hendry County has injured you, you have legal rights that need to be protected. Understanding these rights is crucial to securing the compensation you deserve.
Key Points to Remember
- Florida’s statute of limitations for personal injury cases is now two years. You must file a civil lawsuit for your accident before this deadline.
- You may be entitled to compensation even if you were partially at fault (modified comparative negligence). As long as you are less than 51% at fault, you can collect.
- The drunk driver and the establishments serving them may be held liable. This means there may be multiple parties in your lawsuit or insurance claim.
- Criminal charges against the driver do not preclude you from filing a civil lawsuit. You can sue someone successfully even if they beat their drunk driving charge.
Our experienced lawyers will explain your rights in detail and guide you through every step of the legal process.
