Boise Personal Injury Lawyer and Automobile Accidents Associated with DUI

If you have been in an accident and suffered a personal injury by a drunk driver, the person who is charged with DUI can be convicted in a criminal court as well as be brought to court in a civil matter for a personal injury.  Personal injury lawyers can also use the evidence of the DUI conviction and guilt to support their personal injury case.  If you are injured in an automobile accident where a DUI is involved, you case can be a fairly easy one to prove.  The evidence is collected by the police and if they have a DUI conviction it means that they were driving under the influence.  If you are driving under the influence and run into someone and cause an automobile accident it is obvious that you were impaired and you caused an accident.  The main thing to prove then is the extent of the injuries.  Personal injury lawyers will tell you that as always, with any personal injury make certain you go to the doctor and follow all the doctors orders.  Insurance companies love to say, "no doctor, no injury" or "you exacerbated your injury by not following doctor's orders".  In a personal injury case where guilt is easy to prove make certain you don't jam up your case by not getting the medical help you need.
