If you’ve been involved in a car accident that was caused by a driver who was drunk or under the influence of drugs, you may be facing an overwhelming set of challenges. Recovering from your injuries, dealing with damaged property, and maybe even a lost or impaired ability to work coupled with emotional trauma can leave a victim feeling helpless. Even seeing a drunk driver go to jail may bring little comfort and practical aid to your situation. At Tiemann Law Firm, we want you to know that you are not alone and that help is available.

Getting the Compensation You Are Entitled To

Your first step after an accident caused by a drunk or drug-impaired driver is to get medical treatment. Even if you don’t think you’ve sustained any major injuries, getting evaluated by a medical professional will protect you in case injuries become evident after the accident and also establish a medical record connected to the accident.

Next, you must contact an attorney with experience pursuing this type of case. Our lawyers will conduct their own investigation of your case and inform you of your rights and the best way to pursue the damages you are entitled to. They can also help you tabulate your current and future expenses and loss of income and determine if you are eligible to seek compensation for pain and suffering.

Other Help May be Available

You may not see drunk driving as a violent crime, but the U.S. government does. As a victim, you are entitled to the same referrals for services, support, and resources as victims of other violent crimes. You may also be able to apply for state crime victim compensation programs to help find coverage for medical care and counseling. To learn more, visit the U.S. Office for Victims of Crime.

I was in a very bad/ major car accident I originally had an attorney who wasn’t trying to help me out much or take any of my calls so I called Tiemann and told them my situation. They made it an AWESOME and Smooth transition over to them and took on both cases I had. I just settled on my big case and am beyond great full. For them and their team! I highly recommend them. To add on to this a little On how much they will work with you, I moved to Montana in the middle of all Of this and it was not an issue!

I just saw my lawyer Jelena Tiemann on a t.v ad, which reminded me how much she helped when I was in a desperate situation. I just love her! That is why I feel a need to tell everyone. I had a situation that happened & didn’t know what to do, our where to go. I didn’t even know if she could help me or if any lawyer could. All I wanted was it to go away & was afraid most lawyers wanted to drag it out & possibly go to court. For one she was very professional but was very personable (maybe b.c she’s a lady). She didn’t make me feel embarrassed or self-conscious that I did something wrong or was the cause of the situation. She immediately said we should try our best before going to court. Let me handle some paperwork, if at the last we do go to court we have documents. She gave me all the details, pros and cons but reassured me she deals with these cases all the time. She came through and made it as painless as possible. I now have my life back.
