DUI Defense:
Fort Lauderdale DUI and Personal Injury Attorney
It is the law that all drivers must exercise "reasonable care under the circumstances," while operating a motor vehicle. A failure to do this is considered negligence. When that negligence is caused by an intoxicated driver, you will unquestionably need legal representation.

Do Not Let Auto Insurance Companies Pressure You
Following a motor vehicle accident involving a drunk driver, the insurance company will pressure you for a quick and inexpensive settlement. Before providing them any information or signing any documents, contact Fort Lauderdale DUI attorney John P. Contini & Associates, P.A.

Drunk Driving Victims
If you are the victim in a drunk driving DUI accident, you are entitled to compensation for the injuries that you suffered because of the impaired and negligent driver’s actions. These include:

•    Rental car expense or reimbursement;
•    Medical expenses;
•    Lost wages;
•    Pain and suffering;
•    Your rights to medical care and punitive damages;

Our Fort Lauderdale DUI Attorney’s main priority in representing victims injured in drunk driving accidents is to get the victim back to the condition they were in prior to the accident. Someone driving under the influence is operating a vehicle negligently and illegally. As the DUI accident victim, you are entitled to punitive damages above and beyond the other damages you suffered from the DUI accident.

Our Ft Lauderdale DUI lawyers regularly assist drunk driving victims in getting the proper legal documentation to assist in the financial recovery for their injuries as soon as possible. For more information about your rights after suffering a DUI-related injury in Florida, or to schedule an appointment with a Ft. Lauderdale personal injury lawyer, please contact us.

Recent Questions and Answers

What do you do if you're at a party and the other kids pull out the drugs?

Answer: Shoot the junkies immediately. (Do not do this, as I was only attempting to be humorous)

Better answer: Get out of that party immediately. When the police arrive (pursuant to a warrant or just an anonymous and yet corroborated "tip," those in actual possession of the drugs will NOT be the only ones arrested. That's right - YOU will be arrested too (based on the same laws pertaining to "constructive possession," defined above); and yes, later you'll have your chance in court to explain that you were only hanging out ("mere presence" defense) there at the party, had no intention of using the drugs, you're actually innocent, etc.

We are supposed to be "innocent until proven guilty," but who really believes that anymore? Too often today, we're guilty until proven innocent," so if you don't mind getting arrested, sitting in jail for a night or longer (until paying through friends and family for a bond), and going through a stressful trial in hopes of getting exonerated/acquitted one day, then stay at the party with the drugs.
