Lake County Drunk Driving Accident Attorneys

Seeking Justice after Accidents Caused by Drugs & Alcohol

Car accidents can happen for many reasons. Some have to do with a moment of inattention related to cell phone use, texting, or some other technological distraction. Others are clearly related to the excessive consumption of drugs or alcohol.

If you or someone you love suffers an injury or serious accident as a result of drunk driving, you have a right to seek fair compensation. At Oldham & Smith, we are experienced in handling all types of litigation involving high-speed and fatal drunk driving accidents.

Our Approach

At Oldham & Smith, we do not distinguish one case from another – instead, we prepare every case as if we are heading to a jury trial at the highest court available. Our team will initiate an immediate investigation to gather the evidence to build your case. Where necessary, we will consult with experts, including accident reconstruction specialists, financial planners, and medical professionals.

Our primary objective is to maximize your compensation after an accident. We will fully evaluate your claim to account for lost wages, medical expenses, future care needs, pain and suffering, and any additional personal or financial losses you and your family have suffered.

Dram Shop & Liquor Liability after an Accident

In addition to the driver at fault for the accident, you may be able to recover from additional persons who are also responsible. Liquor store owners, bar owners, bartenders, and other individuals and entities responsible for the distribution of alcohol will also be held liable if they negligently served to an intoxicated person. We will aggressively pursue compensation from any bar owner, restaurant owner, club operator, homeowners, or other businesses serving alcohol. We also handle cases where parents are accountable for minors involved in a drunk-driving accident.
