If I’ve been injured in a drinking and driving accident, won’t the local prosecutor handle that?

While the local prosecutor often does handle drunk driving cases, their aim is to punish the offender and they represent the interest of the law in the entire state of Florida. The local prosecutor will not specifically represent you as the victim and won’t pursue insurance companies for financial compensation. Hiring your own criminal defense or Delray Beach personal injury attorney helps ensure that your personal needs are being taken care of and your car crash damages are compensated.
