Drunk Driving Accident Lawyers in Salt Lake City

Holding Impaired Drivers Accountable in South Jordan, West Jordan, Sandy, Draper, and West Valley City

When a driver makes the reckless decision to get behind the wheel while intoxicated, they aren’t just breaking the law; they are often shattering lives. In an instant, a preventable choice can lead to catastrophic injuries, mounting debt, and emotional trauma for victims.

At Eisenberg Lowrance Lundell Lofgren, we believe that drunk driving isn’t a simple accident; it is a profound betrayal of public safety. We are here to hold those drivers accountable and make them answer for the damage they have caused.

How We Fight for You

In a standard car accident, the dispute is often about who had the right of way. In a drunk driving case, the stakes are much higher. While the police handle the criminal aspect of the DUI, their job is not to ensure your medical bills are paid, or your lost wages are recovered.

You need our advocacy because of the following:

Complex liability. Multiple parties may be at fault, including the establishment that overserved the driver (under Utah’s dram shop laws).
Insurance evasion. Insurance companies may try to limit their payout by arguing over the extent of your injuries or trying to settle before the full scope of the impact on your life is known.
Evidence preservation. Evidence in DUI cases, such as blood alcohol content (BAC) results and police body cam footage, can be difficult to obtain without legal subpoenas.

Our Process in These Cases

When we take on your case, we move aggressively to secure the evidence needed to build an unbreakable claim. We don't wait for the criminal trial to conclude; we start our own investigation immediately.

Securing a criminal record: We coordinate with local Salt Lake City prosecutors to obtain BAC results, breathalyzer logs, and arrest reports.
Investigating the “why” behind the accident: We look into where the driver was drinking. If a bar or restaurant served an obviously intoxicated person, we may pursue a claim against that business to maximize your recovery.
Accident reconstruction: Our team uses specialists to map out the scene, proving that the driver's impairment was the direct cause of the collision.
Full-spectrum advocacy: We manage every phone call from adjusters and every medical bill, allowing you to focus entirely on your physical rehabilitation.

How Your Claim Interacts with a DUI Charge

It is a common misconception that if a driver is convicted of a DUI, the victim automatically receives a settlement. This is not the case. The criminal charge is the State of Utah vs. the Driver; your injury claim is You vs. the Driver.

However, a DUI charge provides powerful leverage for your civil case. If a driver violates a safety law (like driving over the legal limit), it is much easier to prove they were at fault.

We use the evidence from the criminal proceedings to fortify your civil lawsuit, often forcing insurance companies to settle for higher amounts to avoid a jury's anger at a drunk driver.

Compensation Available to DUI Victims

Victims of drunk driving are often entitled to more than just basic repairs. In Utah, we pursue:

Full medical recovery - Past, present, and future costs related to the crash.
Lost income - Compensation for the time you’ve missed at work and any permanent impact on your career.
Pain and suffering - For the physical and emotional toll the trauma has taken.
Property damage – For damage to your vehicle or other personal belongings destroyed in the crash.
Punitive damages - Unlike standard accidents, DUI cases often allow us to seek damages specifically designed to punish the drunk driver for their egregious behavior and to deter others in the community from doing the same.
