Boston DUI Hit and Run Accident Attorney

Hit & Run Accidents and Drunk Driving

A drunk driver may cause an auto accident and may not even notice or may flee the scene intentionally. If you have been injured or have lost a loved one in a hit and run accident involving a drunk driver you will benefit from consulting an experienced personal injury lawyer as soon as possible.

Boston accident and injury attorney Brian Bagby can offer you a free injury evaluation regarding your hit and run auto accident. Hit and run cases are complex, particularly because the other driver is often nowhere to be found. While a criminal investigation may take place, this can take time – time that you simply do not have when facing extensive medical bills, lost wages and emotional trauma. Attorney Brian Bagby can evaluate your case and determine exactly where you can obtain compensation from, what your case is worth and how to proceed in a way that will offer you the best opportunity at maximum financial recovery.

OUI and Boston Hit and Run Auto Accidents

In general, a driver who is under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs will be more likely to be involved in an auto accident in the first place. Alcohol consumption or the intake of controlled substances will delay a driver’s reaction time and may cause his or her physical and mental abilities to become impaired.

OUI, operating under the influence, is a criminal offense that involves driving a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. This may be charged because a driver’s actual abilities are impaired or because the driver has a blood alcohol concentration of .08% or greater. Criminal penalties associated with this offense include jail time, fines, community service, license suspension and probation.
