Drunk Driving / DUI Lawyers

Serving all of Louisiana - and now - Mississippi

Driving while intoxicated (DWI) is a choice all too many Louisiana residents make every day. Because of these careless decisions, the lives of you, your loved ones, and everyone else on the roadways are put in harm’s way. Hindered reaction times and thinking abilities can cause impaired drivers to cause tragic auto accidents, sometimes taking the lives of innocent travelers. If you’ve been the victim of a Louisiana auto accident, let us first extend our condolences.

We’re sorry for the injuries and loss you’re now facing as a result of someone’s DWI offense. Let the Louisiana drunk driving injury lawyers of E Eric Guirard help you find some sense of justice for the wrong that’s been done and help you in your pursuit for compensation.

We know you have many questions regarding your rights and what to do next. Take a look at some of the more common questions we get asked by people following Louisiana drunk driving accidents, and know that we’re here to answer all of your questions.

Why should I hire a Louisiana drunk driving accident lawyer?

There are no excuses for drinking and driving. When someone makes the decision to get behind the wheel, he or she is choosing convenience over safety, selfishness over responsibility. They choose to break the law, which means it’s no mistake when an intoxicated driver causes a car accident.

As the victim of a Louisiana drunk driving accident, you have the right to get compensated for your damages, injuries, and loss. A Louisiana personal injury lawyer who specializes in handling DWI accidents can help you fight for your rights and take some of the burden off your shoulders.

I was recently called by an insurance adjuster. What should I do?

If you’re pursuing a civil claim to gain compensation for your injuries and loss, it’s best to refer an insurance adjuster—both from your insurance company and the other driver’s—to your Louisiana personal injury lawyer. In addition, don’t sign any releases or recorded statements for the adjusters. Such requests or documents should be referred to your lawyer as well. He or she can then advise you on what to do in response.

Is there somewhere I can get support from others who have been injured or lost a loved one due to a Louisiana DWI / DUI accident?

The nonprofit organization Mothers Against Drunk Drivers (MADD) (www.madd.org) is a good source of support, particularly if you’ve lost a loved one due to a drunk driving accident. We work closely with MADD to stop drunk driving, prevent underage drinking, and support victims of this crime.
