Brooklyn DUI Accident Lawyer

Being involved in a car accident is always stressful, and it’s completely normal for the victim and their family to feel anger towards the other party. However, some car accidents can go beyond small lapses of judgment, like a driver taking their eyes off the road. Driving while under the influence is a very serious offense, and besides being highly illegal, these actions can quickly lead to collisions. Call us today at Edelstein, Faegenburg & Blyakher, LLP to talk with our Brooklyn, NY DUI accident lawyer!

Brooklyn, NY DUI Accident Lawyer

Brooklyn’s busy streets, crowded intersections, and its bustling nightlife can all contribute to the number of DUI accidents that happen each year. When impaired drivers jump behind the wheel of a car, innocent drivers or pedestrians can sometimes be the ones to pay the price. Injuries can range from broken bones and fractures to really serious injuries like spinal cord damage. Unfortunately, many DUI accidents also result in wrongful death. 

Whether an injury results in an overnight hospital stay or years of physical therapy, the medical costs can be enormous. Even individuals with great insurance often find that their insurance is unable to cover everything, especially if they need extra costs like home modifications and ongoing physical therapy. Besides thousands in medical debt, an injury can leave you without a job. Of course, nothing can put a price tag on the emotional toll that an accident can cause. Even years after an accident, individuals can suffer from PTSD.

When an accident is caused by another party—especially while under the influence—then it should be their responsibility to pay. Depending on the case, our team can also pursue punitive damages. Punitive damages go beyond economic and non-economic damages, and they’re used to further punish the person who caused the accident. In some cases, they can even be used to make an example out of them to prevent similar actions from others in the future.

Experience Matters For DUI Cases

Experience matters for DUI cases because, while the court system looks down on drunk driving, often legal help is necessary to make sure that victims receive proper compensation.

• We don’t believe in taking half measures, and whenever we tackle a case, our approach is to maximize compensation for our clients. We know when to negotiate and when to apply legal pressure.

• Our attorney, Glenn Faegenburg, is known by his clients for being honest, smart, energetic, and persistent. He’s able to cut to the chase, and he avoids the fanfare and puffery that other trial attorneys sometimes engage in. He was first exposed to the legal world when he was 16, where he competed in a Moot Court Competition.

• Our team has been around since 1937, meaning we bring over eight decades of legal experience in and outside of the courtroom.

When an accident is caused by a drunk driver, it’s your legal right to seek compensation and justice. Call us today at Edelstein, Faegenburg & Blyakher, LLP so our Brooklyn DUI accident lawyer can help you pursue that right!
