Drug related accidents that result in serious injuries can permanently negatively impact the victim's health and lifestyle. If the accident was caused by a drug impaired individual you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries, loss of wages and other losses.
According to the National Center for Injury Prevention & Control drugs other than alcohol (e.g., marijuana and cocaine) have been identified as factors in 18% of motor vehicle driver deaths. The CDC estimates that in 2002, 8% of persons over 12 years of age used an illicit drug. In 2001 there were 193,034 emergency room visits relating to cocaine.
Drug related personal injury cases are usually complex and expensive. You should always consult a qualified, licensed lawyer. These personal injury cases are normally handled on a contingency basis. Typically there are no fees unless the lawyer obtains a settlement or award for you. |
