Serious injury accidents involving drunk drivers may require additional expert testimony and an understanding of what goes into both the criminal and the civil portion of the situation. As a former DUI prosecutor with the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office, Mr. Koplow has a thorough understanding of DUI cases. As personal injury attorneys, we focus on getting our clients the appropriate compensation to help them pay medical bills, replace lost wages, and move forward after an accident. We may even contact prosecutors involved in the criminal proceeding to provide evidence that might move the prosecution in a way favorable to our injured clients.

As former insurance industry lawyers, we are well trained in all types of auto accident situations, including those involving impaired driving. We have developed a network of experts, such as forensic toxicologists, accident reconstruction professionals, and engineers who aid us in demonstrating liability. Whether a driver was under the influence of alcohol or drugs, proving an impairment is an important part of the personal injury case. Insurance companies will work hard to limit their liability, or deny a claim. We know the tactics used to avoid paying on a claim and we can avoid the traps that might prevent our clients from collecting what they are owed.
