It may still be possible to recover compensation even if the drunk driver is uninsured. One possible source is your own uninsured/underinsured (UM/UIM) motorist coverage, which North Carolina requires auto insurance companies to sell in the same amount as your liability coverage.
In some cases, you may have a valid personal injury claim against another liable party, such as:
- A business or establishment, if it knowingly overserved the drunk driver
- An employer, if the intoxicated driver was working for them at the time of the collision
- Another driver whose negligence contributed to the car wreck
Our Raleigh drunk driving accident attorneys can review all available coverage early on to identify each potential avenue for compensation and hold all responsible parties accountable.
