Injured in a Drunk Driving Accident?

Fight for a Fair Recovery with Our Team

Have you or a loved one been injured in a car accident caused by a driver who was under the influence of drugs or alcohol? If so, then you have the right to pursue monetary compensation for your medical expenses, lost work wages, future earnings, and pain and suffering, among other damages.

Driving under the influence (DUI) is inconsiderate, careless and explicitly illegal. It is a crime for which drivers must be held accountable. With a former DUI prosecutor on our legal team, we are also uniquely equipped with the skills needed to handle these cases. At Cope, Zebro & Crawford, P.L., our Clearwater personal injury lawyer is fully prepared to support and represent drunk driving accident victims during these difficult times.

Decorated Former Prosecutor Is Focused on Maximizing Recovery

Attorney Cope, a former prosecutor, affords our practice a great deal of experience when handling DUI accidents and DUI wrongful death cases. As a prosecutor, Attorney Cope was part of a first responder team assigned to assess the scenes of fatal DUI accidents, often while bodies of victims were still present. He worked closely with law enforcement agencies and developed extensive insight into the ways in which these crimes are investigated and prosecuted. As a result, our firm is equipped with the capability and confidence needed to obtain justice and hold wrongdoers accountable for their actions. As a firm, we work diligently to guide injured victims and their loved ones through the entire legal process and work closely with law enforcement to seek justice.

Our strong legal team can help you every step of the way when it comes to your personal injury claim, including analyzing evidence, gathering witness statements, and determining how much compensation you should be trying to collect.

When you work with us, you will benefit from our insight and accolades, including:

• Inclusion in Super Lawyers®
• 50+ jury trials
• More than 45 years of combined legal experience
• "Excellent" Avvo rating (Attorney Cope)

By offering to work on contingency fees and starting off with a free case evaluation, we are able to provide our clients with fully comprehensive legal representation with absolutely no upfront fees or out-of-pocket expenses. To put it simply, if we do not win you a beneficial settlement, we do not get paid.

Lifelong Consequences of Drunk Driving Accidents

Yes, drunk drivers face criminal penalties for their actions, including fines and possible jail time. But criminal cases do not award injured victims any compensation. In order to recover the emotional, physical, and / or financial damages you or your loved one suffered, you must pursue a personal injury claim in a civil court.

Due to our extensive experience, our insight into the insurance industry, and our versatility to obtain full compensation through settlements or verdicts, our legal team can provide you with top-quality representation. Equally as important as the legal advocacy we deliver, our compassion and attention to your needs stand apart from the impersonal dealings of other practices. Should you choose to work with a Clearwater car accident attorney from our firm during your legal journey, you can take comfort knowing that talented and passionate legal minds are in your corner of the legal arena.

We aim to win you a recovery that helps you pay for:

• Wages lost as you heal
• Lost earning potential due to debilitations
• Hospital and medical bills
• Rehabilitation program costs
• Vehicle repairs or replacement
• Expenses related to modified day-to-day living necessities

These cases involve egregious acts of negligence and misconduct; therefore, our attorneys can also push for maximum compensation by obtaining punitive damage awards. Knowing that victims and families should be focusing on nothing other than recovery in the wake of these unfortunate and preventable experiences, our attorneys make it our mission to handle all of the legal claim matters on your behalf.
