Legally, you don’t need to hire an attorney to file a DUI claim — you’re well within your rights to negotiate with the insurance company yourself. However, hiring a DUI accident lawyer offers you many benefits.
To successfully claim compensation, you need to meet a burden of proof — that the drunk driver owed you a duty of care and breached that duty through reckless or negligent conduct and that this conduct resulted in damages. You need strong evidence, which our DUI lawyers in Greenville, SC, can help you collect.
Many Greenville residents think they can keep more compensation by going it alone, but hiring an experienced attorney often results in a much higher settlement, even after paying legal fees.
Insurance companies are shrewd and stubborn, resorting to many tactics to encourage accident victims to settle for less than their claim is worth. Our drunk driver accident lawyers are wise to these tactics and will negotiate a fair offer. We’re also not afraid to take your case to trial if you have a strong case and are entitled to more compensation.
