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.

    "Mr. Porter was very friendly and knowledgeable."
    Mr. Porter helped me in 2010 with a Breach of Contract case in which he was able to recover my earned commissions from my former employer. Mr. Porter was very friendly and knowledgeable in the area of Non Compete agreements which allowed for a quick settlement from my former employer. The staff was great and addressed my issues and questions in a timely fashion. I would recommend Mr. Porter to anyone that has a case in the areas he practices in.

    "Jason and his staff were very professional."
    100% success rate. I used Jason Porter's services two different times for a DUI charge. The first DUI case I never lost my license and he won the case. The second time it was a little more difficult because of the circumstances but we took it to trial and it seemed like an effortless victory. Jason and his staff were very professional and helpful through the entire process.I could not have asked for anything more. Thank you so much for everything.

    "This Legal Team is Wonderful!"
    One night I was awaken by a phone call that my son was in jail, I thought I was having a nightmare. I knew the charges were false but knew we faced a difficult road ahead to prove his innocence. The charges against him could have been enough to have caused him to lose his children, as well as his job and ruin any further career opportunities. He could have served time and had a felony on his record. . We were so lucky to find the law offices of Jason Porter. They came highly recommended and were rated high on the AVVO site. We were scheduled for an appointment the day we called and greeted openly but candidly with the facts of what could happen. He already had the police report and had a pretty good picture of what happen before we even opened our mouth. Jason put us at ease and explained how things would work and assured my son he would do his best to protect him and his good name and to get the charges dropped or reduced to the minimum he assured him he would not make him settle for something he did not do. He was not afraid to take it to trail if that’s what needed to happen. We felt good after hearing his trial record. Gary Shumard also in the office was involved in the day to day dealing of the court appearances and trying to keep it out of trial. He spoke for my son and there were several court appearances. My son was able to work and carry on his normal day because of Gary. During the six month process my son only had to attend one court appearance and that was only because the other side tried again to file additional fraudulent charges against him however, they were immediately dismissed thanks to Gary. In the end they wanted to drop the charges to a misdemeanor; but my son didn’t want anything on his record because he was not guilty! Gary had reviewed their evidence and my son’s evidence and in the end, after six months Gary was able to keep my son’s a record clean. Gary fought hard, gathering evidence and challenging the opposing side with professionalism and knowledge. I feel sure that due to his expertise we were able to avoid a long drawn out trail and more legal expenses. Gary works hard and is at the court house it seems almost every day working for his clients, he is a dedicated attorney with knowledge, and proficiency in handling the law he gathers evidence astutely and reviews both sides he has the ability to present his findings in a very comfortable but clever way. The day the findings came down I think he was almost as happy as we were. He had a right to be it’s like climbing a mountain and getting to the top you know you deserve the view. This law office is wonderful from the secretary who answers the phone, the legal assistants, and everyone in between. We trust this law firm and believe in them with any legal matter they we may have ever!! Richard & Diane Bornstein

    "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.

    "He is a seasoned professional that is respected within the law community."

    I first met Jason Porter in 2003, when our children attended a Christian Preschool together. I saw what he did within our community. He helped many of the families from the preschool over the years so when it came time that my family needed a lawyer I chose him. Jason has helped my family and several of my personal friends, all with positive outcomes. He is a seasoned professional that is respected within the law community. You will be treated with the utmost respect and compassion. I don't know another lawyer of his caliber that offers free consultations and you speak to him personally. Pick Porter.
