If you or someone you love was hurt in a crash caused by a drunk driver, you may be dealing with medical bills, missed work, and long-term pain. You shouldn’t have to carry that burden alone. At Noonan & McMahon, LLC, we fight for people in Monmouth County and Freehold who have been injured in drunk driving accidents. Call us today to schedule your free case review.

Drunk Driving Is a Serious Threat on New Jersey Roads

Every year, impaired drivers cause preventable tragedies in communities like Freehold and Red Bank. Alcohol slows reaction time, affects judgment, and increases the likelihood of high-speed or wrong-way collisions. These crashes are rarely minor—most result in significant injuries or fatalities.

While the state may pursue criminal charges, that doesn’t compensate you for your losses as a victim. We step in to pursue a separate civil claim, allowing you to seek justice and financial recovery.

Common Injuries in DUI Accidents

Drunk driving accidents often involve high speeds and head-on or side-impact collisions. As a result, the injuries tend to be severe. We’ve helped clients recover after suffering:

  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Broken bones and fractures
  • Back and neck injuries
  • Internal bleeding
  • Loss of limbs or mobility
  • Emotional trauma and PTSD

Some victims never fully recover. Others face months or years of rehab. Our drunk driving accident lawyer will fight for the medical and financial resources you need and deserve

Who Can Be Held Responsible?

The impaired driver is usually the primary person responsible for the accident. But in some cases, other parties may share legal responsibility:

  • Bars or restaurants that served alcohol to a visibly intoxicated person (this is called a dram shop claim)
  • Vehicle owners who allowed someone who was drunk to use their car
  • Employers, if the driver was working at the time of the crash

Even if the drunk driver is arrested or charged, you don’t have to wait for a criminal conviction to file your injury claim. Our Monmouth County injury attorneys will work quickly to build a strong case while the evidence is still fresh.

Damages We Will Fight For

Our team will work tirelessly to help you recover damages for:

  • Medical expenses
  • Lost wages (present and future) 
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Permanent disability
  • Loss of enjoyment of life

In some cases, courts may also award punitive damages to punish the drunk driver for reckless behavior. We’ll review your situation in detail and explain all the options available to you.

Drunk Driving and Wrongful Death

When a drunk driving crash results in the loss of a loved one, the emotional and financial toll can be overwhelming. In addition to criminal charges, the driver may be held civilly liable through a wrongful death claim. Surviving family members may be entitled to compensation for funeral expenses, loss of income, and emotional suffering. At Noonan & McMahon, we help families pursue justice and hold reckless drivers accountable for these tragic, preventable losses.
