Drunk Driving Accidents

Nashville, Tennessee, Drunk Driving Accident Attorney

Nothing is more frustrating to an auto accident victim and their family than the senselessness of the accident being caused by a drunk driver. If you or a loved one has been the victim of a drunk driver, you may be eligible for punitive damages against the driver over and above the award for compensation for your injuries. Moreover, you are entitled to justice.

At the law office of Lawyer Fowlkes in Nashville, Tennessee, we will advocate relentlessly on behalf of drunk driving accident victims and their families. Contact us today to learn how we can help you get the just outcome you deserve and protect others from such a terrible tragedy.

If a drunk driver is found guilty on a DUI criminal charge, there is a presumption in the law that the drunkenness caused the accident. This is called a per se violation. When that guilty verdict is entered, if you have suffered injury, or if you have lost a loved one due to the negligence or recklessness of the other driver, you may be eligible for punitive damages.

Our firm has extensive experience handling serious personal injury cases, wrongful death claims, and vehicular homicide.

While typical personal injury settlements can be discharged in bankruptcy, punitive damages for drunk driving cannot. If we win your case, you will get the compensation you deserve. Lawyer Fowlkes prepares every case for trial. We will fight relentlessly, drawing upon our extensive trial experience, network of resources, and determination for justice.

We handle all drunk driving injury cases on a contingency basis. We will only take payment when we recover the punitive damages for you. Contact us today to learn how we can help you get through this difficult time. Fowlkes has defended hundreds of individuals charged with DUI. He wrote “The Book on DUI” published in 1999 by M.
