Not necessarily, but obviously it is a very sensitive situation. You have to be very careful as to how you approach this. The smallest facts and details of the event can be important. It's really too complicated to discuss over the internet like this. If you would like a free consultation, feel free to give me a call: (877) LION-FOR-LAW (546-6367)

You potentially face DUI yourself, and a defense of contributory negligence to any claim you make for your damages. Talk to your insurance rep and your local attorney.
