Columbus Auto Accident Attorney
Drunk Driving Accidents

Columbus, Ohio

We represented a man in his mid-thirties, who suffered catastrophic injuries when he was involved in a head-on collision with a drunk driver. After leaving the neighborhood bar where he had been drinking beer for several hours after work, the drunk driver drove to a nearby carryout and purchased a twelve-pack of beer. He then drove around town drinking the twelve-pack until he traveled left of center and was involved in a head-on crash. The injured man's sister worked in the office of a local lawyer, who referred the matter to Robert W. Kerpsack Co., L.P.A. We filed suit against the drunk driver and the owner of the carryout. The state-minimum liability coverage limits maintained by the drunk driver were quickly offered; however, the liability insurer for the drive-thru carryout vigorously defended the action. A sizable settlement was reached with the drive-thru on the eve of trial.

If you or a loved one was a victim of a drunk driver's negligence, call auto accident attorney Robert W. Kerpsack Co., L.P.A. at (614) 766-2000 in Columbus, Ohio or toll free (800) 944-0755 or submit an online questionnaire. The initial consultation is free of charge, and if we agree to handle your case, we will work on a contingency fee basis, which means we get paid for our services only if there is a monetary recovery of funds. In many cases, a lawsuit must be filed before an applicable expiration date, known as a statute of limitations. Please call right away to ensure that you do not waive your right to possible compensation.
