Monmouth County Drunk Driving Accident Lawyer
Serving Clients Across Red Bank, Freehold, Wall, West Long Branch, and Monmouth County
If you were hurt in a crash caused by a drunk driver, you deserve answers and help. Drunk driving accidents often lead to serious injuries, and the physical, emotional, and financial toll can be overwhelming. At Chamlin, Uliano & Walsh, we help victims across Monmouth County go after the justice and compensation they need.
We’ve handled many cases where someone else’s reckless decision to drink and drive caused life-changing injuries. We’re here to hold those drivers responsible and support our clients through every step of the legal process.
What Happens After a Drunk Driving Accident?
When a drunk driver causes a crash, they may face criminal charges. But a criminal case doesn’t always help victims get what they need. That’s where we come in. Our team works to bring a civil case against the driver so that our clients can recover damages like medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering.
Even if the drunk driver isn’t convicted, you can still bring a claim. Civil cases have a lower burden of proof, which means we can still fight for compensation based on the facts and evidence.
Your Rights as a Drunk Driving Accident Victim in New Jersey
New Jersey has no-fault auto insurance laws, which can sometimes make filing a lawsuit more complicated. But if your injuries are serious — like broken bones, permanent scars, or long-term health issues — you may be allowed to step outside the no-fault system and sue the at-fault driver.
We help clients understand if they qualify to file a personal injury lawsuit and walk them through every part of the case.
Types of Compensation You May Be Able to Recover
If you’ve been hit by a drunk driver, you may be dealing with more than just medical bills. Our team helps clients pursue damages such as:
- Medical expenses (current and future)
- Physical therapy and rehab costs
- Lost wages from missing work
- Loss of future earnings
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of quality of life
Every case is different, and we take the time to learn how the accident has affected your life so we can fight for full compensation.
