Let Kevin Kurgis fight for you. Call & Get Started Now! Drunk driving is one of the most devastating causes of accidents and injuries on the road. Vehicle accidents caused by drunk drivers happen far more often than they should, and they need to be taken very seriously. That is why you need a reliable drunk driving attorney by your side when you want a drunk driver to be held accountable for their actions. At The Law Offices of Kevin Kurgis, we make it our mission to ensure that an individual who drives under the influence of drugs or alcohol is held responsible for any damage he or she may cause. As the victim of an accident where you are not at fault, you should not have to pay for any resulting expense, including the legal assistance our law offices have to offer. Ohio Drunk Driving Laws If you or someone important to you has suffered a property loss, bodily injury, or death because of a motorist under the influence of an intoxicating substance, our expert lawyers will build a case to prove the fault of the intoxicated driver. It all starts with thoroughly knowing the drunk driving laws of the state. Then, we can use documentation like police reports to show any negligence or illegal activity on the part of the driver that may have contributed to the car accident. In the state of Ohio, driving with certain amounts of alcohol or drugs in one’s body fall under the same charge, which is Operating a Vehicle under the Influence. Minors who drive under the influence receive a charge of Operating a Vehicle After Underage Consumption. To receive an Operating a Vehicle under the Influence charge, an individual’s blood alcohol content must meet or exceed 0.08%, unless he or she is driving a commercial vehicle, in which case the legal limit is 0.04%. Operating a Vehicle After Underage Consumption is a charge for a minor with a blood alcohol content meeting or exceeding 0.02%. If an individual is convicted of these charges, there is the consequence of the suspension of his or her driver’s license, but he or she may also receive a fine, mandatory monitoring, or jail time. It depends on the previous driving record of the individual and whether or not previous convictions of the same or similar charges are present. If there are multiple convictions within 10 years, the sentence will be much greater than for a first time offender. There are also penalties for refusing to undergo a blood alcohol test, which makes it easier to build a case when there is an officer of the law present after the accident. How The Law Offices of Kevin Kurgis Can Help The attorneys at The Law Offices of Kevin Kurgis have extensive knowledge about and experience with vehicle accidents of many types, all over the state. We also deal with cases that have varying degrees or kinds of injury. If you are fortunate, your car accident only resulted in damage to the vehicle itself, but having our attorneys fight for you will make it easier and much less stressful to win the compensation that covers the cost of the damage.

That is another area where we have expertise. In these cases, the driver at fault should be responsible for any necessary treatment, and we will fight to ensure you receive exactly what you need. Even if the driver does not receive a charge of Operating a Vehicle under the Influence, any level of alcohol or drugs in the individual’s blood may have impaired their driving and contributed to the accident. If any trace of an intoxicating substance is found in the blood of the driver at fault, a drunk driving lawyer from The Law Offices of Kevin Kurgis may use that information to show that the driver was negligent in your case.
