Hit and injured by a drunk driver? The state will prosecute them, but you can sue them for monetary damages. Let our Sarasota drunk driving injury lawyers hold them accountable and recover the money you deserve! Call for a free consultation.
Getting into a crash caused by a drunk driver is one of the most devastating situations. While you may be feeling lucky to leave the scene with your life, you may also be leaving with severe injuries. Because Florida’s mandatory personal injury protection insurance (PIP) only covers up to 80% of emergency medical expenses and 60% of lost wages, you may be facing paying thousands or tens of thousands of dollars out of your own pocket for things like:
- Imaging tests (X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, etc.)
- Blood work
- Hospitalization
- Surgeries
- Medications
- Injections
- Medical devices (braces, crutches, wheelchair, boots, slings, casting, etc.)
- Physical therapy
- Rehabilitation
- Copays
- Deductibles
- And more.
It’s unthinkable that you should have to pay a penny for a drunk driver’s irresponsible and dangerous actions, and that’s where The Florida Law Group comes in! We can file a claim against their insurance company and fight to recover the maximum amount of compensation possible.

Why choose The Florida Law Group to represent you?
We’re dedicated to winning. To date, our law firm has recovered over $1 billion dollars for injured accident victims, including victims of drunk driving collisions. We will always go the extra mile to get justice for you, and we won’t settle for less than what you deserve!
We’re not afraid to go to trial. Many personal injury firms only handle negotiations, but our Sarasota drunk driving injury lawyers will happily and fearlessly take insurers to court if they are unwilling to settle for the amount you should receive. Particularly if the drunk driver has already been convicted in criminal court, putting your situation in front of a judge or jury may result in more compensation.
We are highly experienced. The Florida Law Group has been serving clients since 1984, making us one of the oldest and prestigious law firms in the area! We have many decades of combined experience on our team. You can trust that our experience will give you an advantage!
We’re experts in our field. Our managing attorney, Chris Limberopoulos, is a board certified civil trial specialist, meaning he is highly knowledgeable about drunk driving injury claims! You can trust him and the entire team to stand up for your rights and work to get results.
We don’t charge legal fees upfront. You have enough financial worries without added legal expenses. That’s why we don’t require you to pay our attorney fees until we achieve a settlement! At that time, we are paid as a percentage of that settlement, not out of your own pocket. It’s risk-free!

Drunk driving injury FAQs
“What if the other driver left the scene?”
Even if you were involved in a hit and run with a driver who was suspected of drinking or was drinking, you still have options (even if that person is never located by the police!). You can make a claim through your uninsured motorist (UM) coverage if you have a policy, or if not, through your PIP benefits. Either way, our attorneys can assist you!
“How can a lawyer help me if I was injured in a drunk driving accident?”
Even when you were clearly a victim, insurance companies will do everything in their power to avoid paying you full compensation because they are most interested in protecting their bottom line! Having legal representation ensures they take your claim seriously. Our Sarasota drunk driving injury lawyers can:
- Collect police records that establish the other driver’s level of intoxication.
- Gather evidence like the crash report, witness statements, and medical records.
- Investigate the accident, including how, why, and where it happened.
- File a claim for compensation on your behalf.
- Negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf.
- Prepare your case for trial with depositions, expert witnesses, and more.
