DUI Accident Victims Serving Families Throughout Jacksonville For Over 25 Years

Jacksonville Drunk Driving Accident Lawyer

Were You Injured by a Drunk Driver?

Drivers who make the choice to get behind the wheel of a car after drinking put the lives of everyone else on the road at risk. Even if that driver's BAC is under the legal limit, their judgement is still impaired and could be the difference between making the split-second reaction necessary to save the life of another person.

Operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol isn't just dangerous – it's illegal. If you or someone you love was seriously injured by a drunk driver, it's important to seek experienced legal representation right away. The team of attorneys at The Law Offices of Jason K.S. Porter, P.A. knows how to get results, and we are committed to helping our clients obtain the largest possible personal injury settlements.

If you have been injured in a drunk driving accident, it is particularly important to pursue legal action, as the criminal charges the driver faces are not likely to result in any type of compensation for your injuries. Our skilled Jacksonville DUI accident attorneys are former prosecutors and have extensive experience in proving that a driver has committed the offense of driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Contact us online or call us at (904) 701-0591 today to begin the process of filing a claim.

What Compensation Am I Entitled To?

Drinking and driving is extremely dangerous, and anyone who commits this crime places everyone else on the road at risk of serious injury or death. If you have been hurt by a drunk driver, your claim for compensation may include:

  • Ambulance bills, emergency medical treatment, and hospital bills
  • Rehabilitative care to restore you to your pre-accident condition
  • Lost income during treatment and recovery, as well as any reduction in your ability to earn wages
  • Pain and suffering
  • Punitive damages for gross negligence

Retaining a Jacksonville Personal Injury Attorney

Car accident injuries caused by drinking and driving can have a devastating effect on the victim. Whether you suffered broken bones, spinal cord injuries, a brain injury or damage to internal organs, you should not have to pay the price for the drunk driver's reckless behavior. We can also represent you in a wrongful death lawsuit if your family has lost a loved one in a tragic accident.

Contact a lawyer as soon as possible to allow us to begin work on your claim for compensation.

    I am so happy and grateful that I picked Porter!! Jonathan Thacher made me feel like I had someone on my side from beginning to end. He told me he would fight for me, and I am thrilled to say he did just that! I was always able to reach him, and he made sure to reach out to me as well...and that means a lot. I highly recommend The Porter Law Firm to any and everyone who needs legal help! They will fight for you!!!

    "We picked Porter and glad we did!!!"
    Jason and his firm came highly recommended by my family member. My son's case would have eventually ended up with negative consequences if not for Jonathan Thatcher. Jonathan was supportive, knowledgeable and kept us informed at all stages of the case. Great firm and appreciate all your hard work in the success of my son's case. I would use this firm again and again.

    "Mr. Porter and his staff are fantastic."
    Mr. Porter and his staff are fantastic. They clearly explained the charges, potential outcomes and estimated timelines. They worked closely with me to tailor their services to my unique situation. The entire team demonstrated extensive knowledge of the law, flexibility, and responsiveness. These qualities helped put my mind at ease until they were able to get all charges against me dropped. I would highly recommend this law firm.

    "I really felt like he cared about the outcome for me."
    My experience working with Mr. Thacher was that he was incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and took the time to explain everything to me. He took a process that I was unfamiliar with and helped me understand all my options and be able to make the best decisions in my case, and I really felt like he cared about the outcome for me. I was referred to his law office, and I highly recommend him if you're in need of a defense attorney. He will work towards the best possible outcome for your case and has a lot of experience, so you can feel confident in his advice. The phone call I received today was nothing less than thrilling! Thanks again.

    "I give them 5-stars!"
    I have always been anti-lawyers, but I love this law firm. I give them 5-stars! The lawyer in my case was Nicole Carlucci and her assistant Brenda. They would always take the time to talk to me and help me to understand whatever questions I had. She actually cared about my situation and there aren't enough stars for them. Brenda was very helpful. I would most definitely use them again and I recommend them to anyone that wants someone to fight for you in court. Thank you!

    "Thankful to this firm for their hard work and dedication!"

    I unfortunately experienced a terrible accident and was hurt. I reached out to Jason Porter’s law firm, as he has helped my father in the past and is a trusted attorney in my family.

    Unfortunately, the process had a slow start due to many moving pieces. Hildy stepped in and things got moving IMMEDIATELY! She is amazing. So sweet, so understanding, so educated and intelligent regarding her position. Because of her, I felt assured and heard.

    Thankful to this firm for their hard work and dedication!

    - M.D.
