How Does the Legal Process Work for Drunk Driving Cases?

After a DUI crash in Brentwood, there are two separate legal matters that may proceed:

  • The criminal case: The State of Tennessee, through the Williamson County District Attorney General’s Office, prosecutes the impaired driver for DUI and related offenses. A conviction can bring penalties such as jail time, fines, probation, and driver’s license consequences. This case focuses on punishing the criminal conduct.
  • The civil case: Separately, you may bring a personal injury claim against the at-fault driver to recover compensation for your losses. The criminal case outcome can support your civil claim, but your right to compensation does not depend on a criminal conviction.

Compensation for Drunk Driving Accidents in Tennessee

As a victim, you have the right to seek compensation for all accident-related losses.

Economic damages
These include current and future medical expenses, rehabilitation and therapy, prescription costs, lost wages, and reduced future earning capacity.

Non-economic damages
These address pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and scarring or disfigurement. Tennessee law caps non-economic damages in many personal injury cases, with higher limits for certain catastrophic injuries.

Punitive damages
Tennessee generally caps punitive damages, but state law removes that cap when the defendant was under the influence of alcohol or drugs at the time of the incident. We evaluate whether punitive damages are appropriate based on the facts of your case.

Navigating the Legal Process in Brentwood After a DUI Crash

  • Investigation: We promptly gather evidence, including the Brentwood Police Department crash report, photographs, witness statements, and your medical records. In serious collisions, the Tennessee Highway Patrol may also investigate, and we obtain their findings.
  • Filing the claim: We handle all communications and file the necessary claims with the at-fault driver’s insurer and any applicable coverage you carry.
  • Negotiation: Insurers often try to minimize payouts. We negotiate from a position of strength, using evidence and expert opinions to support the full value of your claim.
  • Litigation: If a fair settlement is not offered, we file suit and pursue your case in the appropriate Tennessee court, commonly the Williamson County Circuit Court in Franklin, while preparing for trial when necessary.

Why Choose a Local Brentwood Attorney?

Local knowledge: We are familiar with Williamson County court procedures and local opposing counsel.

  • Community insight: We understand traffic patterns on Brentwood-area roads such as Franklin Road, Concord Road, Old Hickory Boulevard, Moores Lane, I-65, and I-840, which can be important when analyzing how a crash occurred.
  • Accessibility: Our office is convenient for Brentwood and the surrounding communities, allowing face-to-face meetings and clear communication.
  • Reputation: We have built our practice serving clients in Brentwood, Franklin, and across Williamson County with a commitment to results and personalized service.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the first thing I should do after being hit by a drunk driver in Brentwood?

First, ensure your safety and call 911 to report the accident and get medical help. Cooperate with the Brentwood police but avoid speaking with the at-fault driver's insurance company until you have consulted with an attorney.

How long do I have to file a drunk driving accident claim in Tennessee?

In most personal injury and wrongful death cases, Tennessee’s statute of limitations is one year from the date of the injury or death. It is important to act quickly so evidence can be preserved and your rights protected.

Can I still get compensation if the drunk driver is acquitted in criminal court?

Yes. The burden of proof is lower in a civil case, so you may recover damages even if the driver is not convicted criminally.

The driver’s insurance company offered me a settlement. Should I accept it?

Do not accept an initial offer before legal review. Early offers rarely account for future medical needs, lost earning capacity, or long-term pain and suffering.

How much does it cost to hire your firm for my case?

The Law Office of Stanley A. Davis works on a contingency fee basis. You pay no upfront fees. We only collect an attorney’s fee if we obtain a settlement or verdict for you.
