austin drunk driving accident attorney

Accidents caused by drunk drivers in Austin and throughout Central Texas can have devastating consequences for those involved.  With Austin being the live music capital of the world, drunk driving accidents are all too frequent here.  Each week, Austinites are injured in accidents caused by drunk drivers.  Many times, the drunk driver is able to walk away from the accident unharmed, while the other parties involved often suffer serious and catastrophic injuries and sometimes even death.

Andrew Heilala is a dedicated and aggressive attorney who believes that drunk drivers should be held fully accountable.  While the criminal justice system punishes drunk drivers through criminal penalties, including incarceration, the criminal justice system is not necessarily interested in helping accident victims obtain financial compensation for their injuries.

Through the civil court system, drunk driving accident victims can file civil lawsuits against the drunk driver who caused the injuries.  The civil court system allows accident victims to obtain monetary compensation for the injuries that they have suffered.  These damages can include:  past and future lost wages, loss of earning capacity, pain and suffering, mental anguish, loss of consortium, and disfigurement.

In some cases, Andrew Heilala is able to work out a settlement with the drunk driver's insurance company without even needing to file a lawsuit.  Through meticulous preparation and skillful negotiation, Andrew Heilala is often able to get the settlement that you deserve.
