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.

    "Although I hope to never need their services again, if I do, I will definitely be giving them a call."
    First and foremost, everyone from staff to the attorneys are all great!! I first started with the firm in 2015 and due to my own circumstances, I was unable to complete the needed court requirements in order to finalize my case. The amount I paid to retain an attorney was placed in a trust and they assured me it would be there until I completed my requirements. 4 years later they kept their word and finalized my case once I completed my needed court requirement. Everything was professional and in a timely fashion on their behalf. They also found a second issue that needed to be resolved and also completed that for me. Although I hope to never need their services again, if I do, I will definitely be giving them a call. Thank you, everyone!

    "Highly recommend him if you need legal advice"
    Mr. Porter is an excellent attorney. He helped me and my teenage son through a very difficult situation. He was right there immediately ensuring we had representation. He even called to follow up to ensure we were ok. He is very passionate about helping his clients. He also does not try to charge you if he knows you don’t have a case. He’s very honest and a great person. Highly recommend him if you need legal advice. Kelley

    "10/10 recommend- especially if you don’t want to leave the beach!"
    Jason Porter and Nicole Carlucci are the best attorneys in Jax Beach! Listen, no one wants to hire an attorney, but if you need one- these are the people to call. I was able to schedule a same-day appointment and they were professional, courteous, and provided an excellent outcome to my case. 10/10 recommend- especially if you don’t want to leave the beach!

    "Mr. Porter was so nice and explained everything in a way that I could understand."

    When I got into an accident, I didn't think I needed a lawyer. However, everything was so confusing and the insurance company was being very pushy. Once I decided I needed to contact a lawyer, I wasn't sure who to call. On the recommendation of a friend who had used him in the past and had a very good experience, I called Jason Porter. I was given an appointment the next day and it was during that appointment I knew I had contacted the right law firm. Mr. Porter was so nice and explained everything in a way that I could understand. He assured me that I would not need to do anything but to get better and he was right! He and his amazing paralegal handled everything so I didn't have to deal with all of the confusion of the insurance company while trying to heal from the injuries I sustained in the accident. Ultimately my case was settled with the insurance company and I received a very fair settlement. I am hoping I never have to use a lawyer again, but if I do, I will definitely be contacting Mr. Porter again.
