Tysons, VA DWI Lawyers

Tysons VA DWI lawyers If you or someone you love has been injured in an accident with a driver who was driving while intoxicated in Tysons, Virginia, it may be in your best interest to discuss the situation with Tysons, VA DWI lawyers who have a track record of successfully defending the rights of DWI victims and their families.

Everyday, people get involved in car crashes, due to a number of reasons. In many of these collisions, the driver may have been intoxicated or impaired due to alcohol or another substance. When someone gets behind the wheel while not sober, they are risking harming not only themselves, but others too in the event of an accident. Here in this article, we have answered a series of questions about those who drive while intoxicated, and how you should respond if you were hit by an impaired driver.

When someone is injured in an accident involving an intoxicated driver in Tysons, it is recommended that they find out what their rights are from reputable VA DWI lawyers.

How can someone know whether they have had too much to drink?

Those who are drunk may feel they are more capable of driving than they actually are. Even one drink could cause someone to experience physical and mental function impairments including an inability to make sound judgements. Every person’s body is different in how it responds to alcohol and their tolerance to it. Factors that can contribute to your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level include:

Whether you are male or female
Your body weight
Number of drinks consumed
Amount of food in your stomach

If you know or just suspect that a driver who injured you or someone you love was intoxicated, enlisting the help of Tysons, VA DWI lawyers may help you to get compensation for expenses related to your accident.

What are the repercussions for being charged with a DWI?

The consequences for being pulled over and charged with driving while intoxicated or impaired (DWI) can include steep fines, jail time, driver’s license suspension, and an increase or cancellation in car insurance premium. If a driver were to cause a tragic crash, they may also have to live with the guilt of their poor judgement. So not only may an impaired driver have to pay thousands of dollars in fines and spend time behind bars, they have added despair of knowing their actions led to tragedy.

In what scenario could someone be arrested for a DWI?

If an officer pulls over a driver that is deemed to be intoxicated or impaired due to an unknown substance, he or she can be charged with a DWI. Even if the driver’s BAC level was below the legal limit of .08 percent, the officer can still make an arrest.

If someone is injured in an accident where the driver was intoxicated, it does not matter whether or not the driver was arrested and convicted for them to be liable for your injuries. If you or someone you love has been injured in an accident with an intoxicated driver, it may be in your best interest to discuss your situation with Tysons, VA DWI lawyers.

What should I do if I was hit by a driver who was impaired or intoxicated?

Those who have been hit by a driver who was not sober may want to consider meeting with an attorney about their legal options. There may be expenses that need to be paid including injury care, vehicle repairs and loss of pay from missing work. Experienced Tysons, VA DWI lawyers can consult with with you and help you decide if filing a lawsuit against the driver is the route to take. Depending on the details surrounding the accident, the victim may be entitled to receiving financial compensation.

What should I bring with me to my first consultation?

When meeting with an attorney, you should bring as much information about the accident as you can. Important details your attorney will probably want to know about include:

Medical bill costs
Out of pocket expenses
Charges for diagnostics and the results
Details of doctor evaluations
Ambulance ride fee
Driver’s name and insurance company

  To say that I am happy with the outcome of my case is the understatement of the century! Jill Stanley is a BEAST at what she does.  That is the only way to explain it. She takes no prisoners. She and her team are very skilled and knowledgeable.  I am so happy I trusted them to do their job and rolled with Jill's suggestions. I would choose Jill again 100 times. She settled my case for more than I imagined I would receive. I was literally in tears. It is the best feeling to know my pain isn't for naught. Wayne Cohen and Kristopher Yorke were nothing short of amazing. They have the patience of saints. I'm 100% certain that I got on their last nerves with my frustration and tears at every other call I had with them. Being in pain and wanting to just be able to heal was all I could focus on, but they helped me realize that I also had to focus on the bigger picture (the case) so I could put this piece behind me. As a high-strung individual with anxiety, it was hard for me to not worry and let them do their jobs, but they reassured me all of the time that they had this. To be injured before the start of the pandemic and have to receive regular, weekly treatment while others are able to stay home is anxiety inducing. I was in pain, I was anxious, and I was just hoping it all worked out. It more than worked out.  I hope Jill, Siri, and Kris know how much their hard work and "hanging in there" meant to me. I am eternally grateful. I can't recommend you all enough. If you choose this law firm, you won't be sorry!

  I had a great experience with the team at Cohen & Cohen. From my intake attorney, Adam, to the paralegal, Bryan, who worked with me regularly for months to document and prepare my case, to Jill, the attorney who secured my settlement, I feel fortunate to have had their representation and expertise on my side.
