Holiday season in Florida means packed roads, late-night parties, and, unfortunately, a rise in drunk-driving crashes. If you’re injured by an impaired driver, you have the ability to pursue a claim through their insurance and, in some cases, additional damages because DUI cases involve reckless behavior.

Here’s what to do:

  1. Call 911 and get a police report, which is crucial for DUI evidence.
  2. Document everything: photos, injuries, witness info.
  3. Get medical treatment immediately, even if you feel “okay.”
  4. Contact a personal injury attorney before speaking with insurance.

DUI accidents are treated seriously under Florida law. Marsalisi Law can help guide you through the legal process and protect your rights during the busiest season on the road.
