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 Problems? Pick Porter!™ 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.

    "They were honest, personable, reasonable, and effective."
    I retained The Law Offices of Jason K.S. Porter, P.A. a few years back. They were honest, personable, reasonable, and effective. I would recommend a consultation for any legal matter. If it is out of their field of expertise, they will advise you of that as well.

    "Throughout the whole process, he was responsive and dedicated and he made it seem like I was the only case he was dealing with."
    I recently worked with Jonathan Thacher and am very pleased with the outcome of the case. Throughout the whole process, he was responsive and dedicated and he made it seem like I was the only case he was dealing with. He was on top of getting the necessary measure taken and the end result was outstanding. I would definitely refer anyone to him! Thank you so much, Jonathan!!

    "The Best I Could Imagine!!!"
    I used Jason Porters services after a bad roll over accident involving myself and my ALMOST 1 year old daughter when I lived in Jacksonville. Within 24 hours of contacting the office, I was seen by 2 physicians and my case was in full motion. My husband was deployed, and I was scared at first. However, Mr. Porter and his ENTIRE staff had me at immediate ease. I could email or call his assistant at any hour with any concern, and would have a response very quickly. I would highly recommend this office to anyone at any time. The compassion of the entire staff was more than I could have expected.

    "Jonathan Thacher was definitely there when I needed a lawyer."
    I am so incredibly grateful for picking Porter. Jonathan Thacher was definitely there when I needed a lawyer.

    "Thanks for everything!"
    I had contacted Mr. Porter’s office after being in a car accident and having no success on my own with the insurance adjusters. Mr. Porter and his entire staff were all very engaged, expedient and supportive while working on my case. Any questions that I had, I could make a phone call and Hildy or Dani would be on the other end making things make sense to me. Ultimately, they delivered a great outcome that I was happy with. It was a huge weight off my shoulders to have the knowledge and support of Mr. Porter and his staff while navigating through the stress of everything that must be handled after a car accident. In the unfortunate event that I find myself in another similar situation, I won’t hesitate to pick up the phone and give them a call back! Thanks for everything!

    "The best attorneys you will find. I love you guys!"
    Two very scary DUI cases in my life. The first involved a wreck, the second with a very high BAC. Jason Porter and Gary Shumard, you are both so very amazing and you have saved me so much havoc on these cases. Reduced to reckless on the first, and on the second, saved me from having the interlock system order in my car, another 10 days of immobilization, and more jail time. From the beginning, these two kept my anxieties calm through this process and the outcomes took all that load off. If you are financially strapped, trust me, they will work with you on that too. Sincerely.
    - Gale B.
