Criminal Penalties Do Not Always Deliver Justice to Drunk Driving Victims—But a Lawsuit Can
Arkansas law criminalizes driving while intoxicated (DWI).
While we hope that a drunk driver faces fair criminal penalties for the harm they have caused you or a loved one, criminal charges do not typically address:
- The financial cost of being hit by a drunk driver in Fayetteville
- The trauma, pain, and suffering that occurs when you are hit by a drunk driver (and injured)
- The immense grief that results when a drunk driver kills a loved one
Criminal charges punish the drunk driver, but they do not always directly benefit the victim. This is where insurance claims and lawsuits help.
Your Fayetteville drunk driving accident attorney from Levar Law Injury and Accident Lawyers will develop a case strategy specific to your circumstances and needs. We will fight for justice regardless of any criminal charges the drunk driver does or does not face.
Drunk Driving Is 100 Percent Avoidable, so Impaired Motorists Are Liable When They Cause Accidents
What makes drunk driving accidents so regrettable (and tragic) is that they are entirely preventable.
Motorists can lower the risk of a drunk driving accident to zero percent by:
- Calling an Uber, Lyft
- Calling a taxi
- Having a friend or family member drive
- Choosing to have items delivered to a house rather than going to get them
- Simply deciding that driving after drinking is too risky and scrapping any plans they had to get behind the wheel
Though drunk driving has always been a selfish, unacceptable act, the convenience economy has eliminated many reasons why someone might consider driving after drinking. Those who choose to drink and drive display an egregious form of negligence and are liable for any injuries or wrongful deaths they cause.
A Drunk Motorist May Not Be the Only One Liable for Your Damages
Every motorist is responsible for their own decisions. When a drunk motorist causes an accident in Fayetteville, they must pay the cost of the harm they cause you. However, the drunk motorist may not be the only one responsible for your damages.
Others who can be defendants in a Fayetteville drunk driving accident case include:
- A drunk driver’s employer: Employers are often financially liable when their employees cause accidents. This includes employees who drive their vehicle while impaired (and while on the clock).
- An establishment that sold the driver alcohol: Organizations that sell alcohol must avoid selling alcohol to those who are already impaired. If the drunk driver was overserved before causing your accident, the establishment that overserved them can share liability for your accident-related damages.
- Any other party whose negligence contributed to the accident: Drunk driving accidents are not always as simple as an impaired driver striking another vehicle, a pedestrian, a bicyclist, or a motorcycle rider. Sometimes, accidents are more complex. For instance, if the brakes on an impaired motorist’s vehicle fail and a collision results, a brake manufacturer can share liability with the drunk motorist.
Drunk driving accident lawyers understand negligence, particularly as it relates to drunk driving accidents. Attorneys also know who can share liability for any accident caused by a drunk driver. Trust your attorney to establish fault and liability as they put your claim or lawsuit together.

We have ample experience leading drunk driving accident cases throughout Arkansas, and we will build your case by:
Documenting the Driver’s Intoxication
The fact that the driver was impaired can determine whether you receive punitive damages and may speak to the likelihood that the motorist is at fault for your accident.
We may prove their intoxication with:
- Breathalyzer test results
- Blood test results
- Admissions from the driver that they were intoxicated
- Eyewitness accounts of the driver’s drinking and impairment
Our drunk driving accident lawyers are familiar with law enforcement officials in Fayetteville, and we will work with them to obtain relevant case materials.
Proving Who Caused the Accident
In addition to proving the driver’s intoxication, we will prove they caused your accident. Video of the accident, eyewitness accounts, a police report, and other evidence will help us make this case.
Determining Liability for Your Accident-Related Damages
Your Fayetteville drunk driving accident attorney will determine who owes you compensation for your accident-related damages. The drunk driver is likely liable, and we will determine if anyone else should pay for your economic and non-economic damages.
Calculating Your Case Value and Fighting for Fair Compensation
Levar Law Injury and Accident Lawyers will calculate a case value that includes:
- Economic damages you’ve already faced (like the cost of emergency medical care)
- Economic damages you’ll face in the future (like future medical care, lost income, and vehicle repair costs)
- Non-economic damages you’ve already suffered (including the trauma of being in the accident)
- Non-economic damages you’ll face in the future (including any depression and post-traumatic stress disorder related to the accident)
Our firm will leave no damage unaccounted for when calculating your case value.
Spearheading Any Lawsuit or Trial You Task Us With Leading
If liable parties don’t offer the settlement you deserve, we can file a lawsuit in the appropriate Fayetteville court. We will continue to seek a settlement after filing suit, but will also be ready for any necessary trial.
