Victims of DUI Crashes

Drunk or impaired drivers pose a serious danger to everyone on the road. Tragically, they often walk away from accidents unscathed, while innocent victims are left to suffer the consequences. Impaired drivers have slowed reaction times, poor judgment, and reduced motor skills, making them more likely to swerve, run red lights, or drive the wrong way. These reckless actions lead to catastrophic collisions, many of which could have been avoided if the driver had made the responsible choice not to drink or use drugs.

In many cases, DUI drivers survive accidents because their impaired state causes them to be less tense during the collision, reducing the likelihood of severe injury. Meanwhile, victims—who are usually sober and unprepared are often the ones to bear the full impact. From broken bones to traumatic brain injuries or even loss of life, the harm done to victims is devastating. Families are left grieving, and survivors must navigate a long road of physical recovery and emotional trauma.

At Asencio Law Off2 Columnice, we understand the heartbreak and frustration that comes with these tragedies. Our mission is to fight for the rights of victims and hold DUI drivers accountable for their actions. If you or a loved one has been impacted by an impaired driver, you don’t have to face this battle alone. We are here to help you seek justice, secure compensation, and find the support you need to rebuild your life.

DUI Wrongful Death Cases

DUI Wrongful Death

A wrongful death in DUI injury crashes occurs when someone dies as a result of injuries caused by an impaired or intoxicated driver. Under Florida law, wrongful death allows the family or estate of the deceased to file a civil lawsuit against the at-fault driver to seek compensation. This is separate from criminal charges, such as DUI manslaughter, which may be pursued by the state to penalize the impaired driver. Wrongful death cases emphasize not only compensation but also holding the responsible party accountable for their reckless behavior

Driving under the influence (DUI) remains a serious threat on Florida’s roads, often leading to severe injuries and fatalities. In 2022 alone, Florida recorded over 5,200 alcohol-related crashes, resulting in more than 3,000 injuries and 406 deaths. Impaired drivers are responsible for a significant portion of these accidents, and the consequences extend beyond statistics to the devastating impact on victims and their families.

In the last five years, DUI accidents have consistently accounted for around 25-30% of traffic fatalities in the state. Even with stricter penalties, such as DUI checkpoints and ignition interlock devices, these preventable tragedies persist, especially during holidays and weekends when impaired driving incidents tend to spike.

Personal Injury Automobile Accidents

At Asencio Law Office, we handle a wide range of personal injury cases involving motor vehicle accidents. Car crashes are the most common, often caused by distracted or impaired drivers, leading to injuries ranging from whiplash to severe trauma. Uber and rideshare accidents present unique challenges involving multiple parties, including drivers, passengers, and companies. Truck accidents can be devastating due to the sheer size and weight of commercial vehicles, often resulting in life-altering injuries. Motorcycle accidents frequently lead to serious harm, as riders are more exposed and vulnerable on the road. Lastly, pedestrian accidents are particularly tragic, as those on foot have little protection against moving vehicles.

No matter the type of accident, we are committed to helping victims get the compensation they need for medical bills, lost wages, and emotional distress. If you’ve been injured in a motor vehicle accident, trust Asencio Law Office to fight for your rights and secure the justice you deserve.

Workers' Compensation Injuries

In Florida and across the U.S., falls from heights are the leading cause of workplace injuries, especially in industries like construction and roofing. Workers face serious risks when working on ladders, scaffolding, or elevated platforms, with injuries ranging from broken bones to traumatic brain injuries. These accidents not only impact physical health but also lead to financial challenges from lost wages and medical bills.

Beyond falls, several other common workplace accidents include:

Slips, Trips, and Falls: Often occurring on wet or uneven surfaces.

Overexertion Injuries: Caused by heavy lifting, repetitive motions, or physical strain.

Struck-by Accidents: Involving objects falling from shelves or equipment.

Vehicle-Related Accidents: Especially common for delivery drivers and workers operating heavy machinery.

Workers' compensation benefits are designed to cover medical expenses and lost wages after these incidents, but navigating claims can be complicated. Injured workers should know their rights and seek legal guidance if necessary to secure the benefits they deserve. Stay informed, stay safe, and if an accident happens, take action quickly to protect your health and livelihood.
