While clear and convincing proof of the drunk driver’s impairment is crucial to a strong injury claim, you also need other types of evidence to support your case against them. You must show how the crash happened and how it affects your health, work, and daily life.
Useful evidence in drunk driving car accident cases often includes:
- The police report, including any observations about the driver’s impairment, field sobriety testing, or arrest
- Breath, blood, or other chemical test results that may show the at-fault driver’s intoxication
- Pictures of the crash scene, including vehicle damage, skid marks, and visible injuries
- Witness statements from people who saw the driver’s behavior before or after the collision
- Medical records linking your injuries to the crash and showing the extent of your treatment
- Video footage, including from surveillance, body, or dashboard cameras
