- What effect the impact of your accident had on your body
- Why the at-fault driver was responsible for causing your accident
We may hire experts to investigate and document your accident.
Document Your Losses
Our team can calculate the value of your losses. This tells us how much compensation you may deserve. We also document the losses that you or a loved one have suffered.

A drunk driving accident lawyer from the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine may also hire medical or economic experts to testify about your estimated future losses as well. We work for a contingency fee. In this arrangement, you do not have to pay us out of pocket. We don’t get paid unless you do.
Work Within Florida’s Statute of Limitations
Note that, per Florida Statute § 95.11(3)(a), there is a general four-year statute of limitations on personal injury lawsuits in Florida. For wrongful death lawsuits, the general statute of limitations is two years, per Florida Statute § 95.11(4)(d).
The Damages that You May Be Able to Recover
If you or a loved one was struck by a drunk driver, you might be eligible for compensation. Driving while drunk represents a particularly serious case type. You can seek compensation through a lawsuit regardless of any criminal proceedings related to your case.
In a personal injury lawsuit, a drunk driver may be responsible for:
- Causing the death of your loved one
- Depriving you of income (temporarily or permanently)
- Causing permanent disability
- The cost of your medical care
- Causing psychological and emotional harm
- Causing pain and suffering
- Damaging your vehicle
If a drunk driver killed your loved one and you are filing a wrongful death lawsuit, then you may be entitled to coverage for:
- The cost of a funeral
- Permanent loss of income and financial protection
- Loss of companionship
- Medical care
A Driver May Not Be The Only Liable Party
Drunk driving is a negligent act. A drunk driver may be liable for any harm that they cause. Other parties may be liable for the harm that the drunk driver has caused you, as well.
When it is appropriate, we can also pursue compensation from:
- Those who overserve drunk drivers
- Vehicle manufacturers
- Employers
- The city of Brandon
- Mechanics
We assess liability for every client and case. If we find that parties aside from a drunk driver are liable for their accident, we will seek compensation from them. We have multiple options for pursuing compensation, with insurance claims and lawsuits being among those options.
Our Firm Understands the Case for Negligence
Our firm regularly deals with clients who are victims of negligence. If you or a loved one were struck and injured by a drunk driver, you might be the victim of negligence.
During the course of negotiations, we will argue that:
- The drunk driver (and any other negligent parties) owed you a duty of care
- The drunk driver (and any other negligent parties) breached their duty of care
- The breach of duty of care led to your accident
- By causing your accident, negligent parties created financial losses for you
