Home » Drunk Driving Accidents
While the hazards of drunk driving are all over the media, it has not prevented all drivers from driving while intoxicated. One drunk driver can put others in danger of severe injuries or even death. Under Ontario motor vehicle accident legislation, accident victims are entitled to benefits and are able to sue for damages.

Additional benefits may be available to you if the drunk driver was served alcohol at a bar or restaurant. Our investigation experts will be able to explore this factor. If this is the case, we may be able to seek additional damages from the establishment to maximize your compensation.
