🚨 KNOW YOUR RIGHTS AFTER A DUI CRASH 🚨

know your rights after a dui crash

1. Seek medical care within 14 days.

Under Florida law, if you don't receive medical treatment within 14 days of the accident, you may lose your right to certain insurance benefits. Even if you feel "okay" — get checked out. Injuries like whiplash and internal trauma often don't appear immediately.

2. Document everything.

📷 Take photos of the scene, your injuries, and all vehicles involved

📋 Get a copy of the police report (it should note DUI charges or impairment)

🏥 Keep all medical records, bills, and treatment notes

🗒️ Write down everything you remember while it's fresh

3. You may be entitled to more than you think.

As a DUI crash victim, you could be owed:

✔️ Medical expenses (past and future)

✔️ Lost wages and loss of earning capacity

✔️ Pain & suffering

✔️ Punitive damages — additional damages that can be imposed specifically against drunk drivers

4. Don't accept the first settlement offer.

Insurance companies move fast — and low. Before you sign anything, talk to an attorney.
